On November 15th, New York City's brightest stars will gather at the Toro Lounge in The Smyth Hotel to "Raise UP for Somalia." Founders of progressive lifestyle brand Influence Series will be launching The Postcards Project, a monthly event highlighting different cultural and geographic regions, showcasing their contemporary flair. Influence Series founders Michael "Mancini" McConnell and DJ CEO will dedicate its first installment of postcards to the East African country of Somalia. The duo partnered with some of the biggest names in the fashion, art and culinary industries to build awareness for Somalia while showcasing some of the region's most prominent names in NYC.

IMAN Cosmetics is happy to support Raise UP 4 Somalia by supplying gift baskets for the auction at this event.

Proceeds from the event will support The American Refugee Committee's "I Am A Star" campaign and The African Future organization to help provide more assistance to organizations on the ground in Somalia fighting poverty and other civil issues in the region.

Apparently you can't visit a Somali video without there being a Somalia vs. Somaliland argument. Can't we just be peaceful and watch a video for the sake of the video?
