Oh, and ladies, Rock your Red Pumps for the meetup! Don’t have a pair? It’s your excuse to go buy some (like we all really need excuses to shop). Mkay so I know it’s tough times. You don’t HAVE to rock red shoes. But if you got em, rock em!

About The Red Pump Project
The Red Pump Project is an initiative to raise awareness about the impact of HIV/AIDS on women and girls, both directly and indirectly.

Created by Karyn and I, it began as a blog initiative on March 10th, 2009. We got 125 bloggers to “Rock the Red Pump” widget on their blogs to speak out about the issue of HIV/AIDS. It is now a national initiative with 16 ambassadors in 14 states, that are doing work on the ground and online to ensure that women are empowered with knowledge about HIV/AIDS and the issues surrounding it.
