Honoring Whitney

In the days following Whitney Houston's death, it is bittersweet to be reminded of Ms. Hoston's impact on the world. Her music provided inspiration and a reason to dance for many, her acting career left us with memorable film moments, and her private life—made public, helped many of us feel less alone. Like us, Whitney attempted to make peace with sex, drugs, and desire.

Writer Hilton Als, in his tribute to Ms. Houston, captures the Whitney so many of us knew, and wanted to know better. While writing, Als also captures a time, and a feeling. More here: THE WINDOW

While reading up on Whitney, we came across the Whitney Houston Foundation for Children Inc. Started in 1989, the foundation is a nonprofit that cares for homeless kids and children with cancer and AIDS. While it is not clear how to reach the foundation, it becomes evident that Whitney, and her team understood the need to give, and share. Here is a list of causes Whitney contributed to: whitney-fan.com. 

Rest in Peace Whitney.
