about project
MORE THAN JUST A SONG - "One Human Race" is my first original song release. I wrote the song last summer when I was 14 years old and so much was happening in the world. During this time, I was feeling scared, confused, anxious and deeply saddened. I did not like the way people were treating and talking to one another. Our skin color, gender, background and age should not define our self-worth or who we are as individuals. The song lyrics help explain my emotions - that we should treat each other with respect and dignity because we are all equal, we are all one human race.
There are many ways for people to connect with the song, whether they've experienced racism, a hate crime, the loss of a loved one, feeling alone, or just having a difficult time in life. It is intended to be inspiring and give hope for the future.
Through this song, I have chosen to work with a charity to help children. My goal is to create awareness and funds for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA). I am familiar with CASA through my participation in National Charity League (NCL) and Teens for CASA Club at school. You will receive a download of the song with a donation of any amount to CASA. You can also find "One Human Race" on music platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. - Josette Noelle
