This is Georgia's FIRST community fund raiser, helping to raise funds for the first phase of her art, poetry and book tour and the help of a very special promo firm in California. With a total goal of raising funds through events, crowdfunding and investor support - Georgia hopes to spread her message of "healing through the arts" to those who have been impacted by sexual assault.

"The sexual assault of women and girls is the longest-standing, widest reaching public health pandemic on the planet; I think it's time to start doing something about that". -Georgia
