Two years ago, I came across a startling article in Essence Magazine about a suburb of my hometown Washington, DC.  Prince George's county, it said, is the wealthiest black county in the country, but yet it has a higher rate of domestic violence than any other jurisdiction in Maryland.  How tragic, I thought.  Beyond their beautiful homes and high-powered jobs, these women were victims, hiding behind a mountain of lies that have to be re-told day after day.  I wrote this song in honor of them.  And, in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, I'm offering it to you as a free download.  Please share it with your friends and loved ones and help us raise awareness about this crisis in our community.  "One time might be all it takes."
 
Much love,
Wayna
 

Singer/songwriter Wayna made a surprise splash with her 2005 debut album, Moments of Clarity, a well-received album that highlighted both her attractive voice and her storytelling ability.  She was hailed by Essence Magazine as "one to watch" and Billboard called her a "standout on the indie front." She has come back even stronger this year with Higher Ground, a fantastic disc that has become a favorite among SoulTrackers.

So we're very happy that Wayna is offering to SoulTrackers a FREE SONG DOWNLOAD of her song, "My Love." It is a wonderful song with an important message, and an example of the terrific music on Higher Ground.

Note: If you want to save the song file to a specific location on your computer, point your cursor on the highlighted words above, right click on your mouse, choose "Save Target As" and then select the desired location. The song may take a minute or two to download.
