Dear Friends and Colleagues,

This is a personal tribute to Archbishop Desmond Tutu, my dear mentor and Patron of Women’s Day Live. I’ve never met anyone like him in my life. A man of great heart, vision and action. I believe that what the Archbishop loved about the vison of Women’s Day Live, which is ostensibly Live Aid Women, was the ability to connect people in cities and countries around the world to help one another, in our shared humanity. His ability to connect and love all human beings was one of the most profound things about him. It is my hope that his lessons of love and care to those that need it most will grow as the power of music unites the heartbeat of the world in a global fireplace to share our common humanity.
