Enter the following string into Google: "pat robertson" rwanda diamonds and you'll have a good idea of how charitable contributions to Operation Blessing will be used.

Not sure how the Crenshaw connection came to be--an unlikely alliance to be sure--but Dar has really taken some chances with her voice and her melodies. I'm looking forward to getting to know these songs a little better, but already I'm blown away by a few of them.

Much of the diamond industry relies on slave labor, and child labor. Remember, the same (advertising) industry that told us diamonds are forever is the one that tells us "if the ride is more fly, then you must buy."
