Here to Love/Happy Holidays

Originally posted December 22, 2019.

As a senior consultant for Point Made Learning, I’d like to thank them for pointing out the song, “Here to Love” by Lenny Kravitz. It focuses on racism, equality, diversity, and inclusion. Lenny Kravitz has joined forces with UN Human Rights and their #FightRacism campaign to promote tolerance. The song, “Here to Love”, is the theme song for the campaign. For additional details, check out the #FightRacism campaign site.

#FightRacism was first launched in 2009 to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. The day commemorates the brutal killings of 69 anti-apartheid protestors. In December 2019, the UN Human Rights Office extended the campaign to run on a year-long basis, as part of its commitment to end intolerance, xenophobia & discrimination of every kind.

Below are the lyrics and official video of “Here to Love.” Pay close attention to the lyrics, as the video and campaign are perfect during these polarizing times.

Lenny Kravitz - Here To Love (Official Video)

We must all unite for we are one creation

We must join the fight, together we are strong

We must do what's right in every situation

Love each other's lives as you would do your own

Just think twice

Before you cast your stone at someone's soul

It's their life

So the choice is theirs and theirs alone

We're not here to judge

We are here to love

There's no room for hate

We are just one human race

We must rise above

We are here to love

There's no time to waste anymore

We must all unite, there's no more segregation

When you've seen the light there's nowhere else to go

And with peace in sight no walls could separate us

We would be as one because this earth's our home

Just think twice

Before you cast your stone at someone's soul

It's their life

So the choice is theirs and theirs alone

We're not here to judge

We are here to love

There's no room to hate

We are just one human race

We must rise above

We are here to love

There's no time to waste anymore

Will we learn from our past?

Our clock is running fast

We're not here to judge

We are here to love

There's no room for hate

There is just one human race

We must rise above

We are here to love

There's no time to waste anymore

We're not here to judge

We are here to love

There's no room for hate

We are just one human race

We must rise above

We are here to love

There's no time to waste anymore

Racism, tolerance, equality, diversity, inclusion, and equity are integral parts of my passion and are significant components of why I recently founded AllThingzAP, LLC. We want to assist organizations with their inclusion and diversity efforts and embrace the importance for you to always be your authentic self. Please go to www.allthingzap.com/ for additional information. Like Lenny Kravitz, we will continue our efforts to create and embrace an inclusive and diverse environment. As we face these polarizing topics in America today, we know we will overcome them successfully.

This will be my last blog in 2019. Personally, I have a lot to be grateful and thankful for in my life. Professionally, AllThingzAP has exciting plans for 2020 and beyond. Be on the lookout! I wish you a very happy holiday season & a prosperous new year.
