If you’re a rocker, you definitely want to get in on this.
Girls Rock! Rhode Island is a program that seeks to help girls and women to empower themselves through music, and they just published Women Who Rock Coloring Book. The book celebrates a variety of female musicians, from those who paved the way to the ladies who are influencing today’s vibrant music scene. An eclectic mix of performers are represented in its pages, including Cyndi Lauper, Patti Smith, Nina Simone, Yoko Ono, Joan Jett, Esperanza Spaulding and many more.
This first edition features 22 original works of art by local artists including Jen Corace, Allison Cole, Marissa Paternoster of Screaming Females and Delia Kovac, who generously donated their work to the cause! (The book can be purchased here!)
The program has done great things, such as offering full scholarships to 10 girls from schools to attend an awesome week-long summer camp to learn guitar, bass, drums, vocals, or various other instruments; among other things! You can read more about the initiative by heading to the Girls Rock! Rhode Island website.
WOW!!! I love this! Heart in a coloring book? For rockin’ girls? How cool is that????
