Lalah Hathaway

The daughter of Donny Hathaway, one of the most influential soul artists of the 1970s, Lalah Hathaway is respected in her own right. She has developed a reputation as an artist with a unique and timeless sound, and as a gifted lyricist, who is emotionally in tune with women from all backgrounds.

"The rate of Black women and girls diagnosed with breast cancer is rising at an alarming rate," said Hathaway. "We are fighting a common enemy. Knowledge and having a take-charge mindset and attitude are critical weapons in the fight against this deadly disease. I became active because I want to be an ambassador of change. If I tell seven of my friends and they tell seven of their friends and so on, the circle will continue to expand and we'll create a chorus of voices within the African-American community to eradicate breast cancer. I truly believe that this is a goal we can achieve together."

Hathaway's 4th solo album, "Self Portrait," will be released June 3rd on the Stax Records/Concord Music Group label.

Synthia SAINT JAMES

Synthia SAINT JAMES is a multiple award winning artist, architectural designer, speaker, author and songwriter and now a Circle of Promise ambassador. She has gained international recognition for her work. She travels the world, inspiring people through speaking engagements, exhibitions, and unveilings.

"I am pledging to tell everyone I can to sign up for Circle of Promise and I plan to use the opportunities afforded me to raise awareness and money for this cause. By working with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, I am joining millions of survivors and activists around the globe in raising our voices against this disease."
