On April 25, 2013 TheBobbyPen.com will host Revealed: Official Launch Event and Artist Showcase at Indulj Restaurant and Lounge located in the heart of the historic U Street Corridor at 1208 U St. NW Washington, DC 20009. The event, set to start at 6:30pm, will demonstrate the mission of this blog and raise awareness for today’s most promising young talent in entertainment and fashion. A generous portion of proceeds will go to benefit Metro TeenAIDS, a wonderful organization that counsels young people diagnosed with HIV, distributes condoms and other contraceptives to clinics and youth centers around the city, and advocates for legislation that improves the quality of sex education in our public schools. Washington, DC has one of the highest rising rates of HIV/AIDS cases in the country. And across the nation, half of all new HIV infections occur among people under the age of 25– many if whom haven’t even been tested, therefore, aren’t receiving treatment. As a native Washingtonian, this is a cause that is near and dear to my heart, and I’d like to draw attention to organizations like Metro TeenAIDS working to combat stigma, counseling and educating toward a HIV/AIDS-free future.
