the other week i was very fortune to hear christy turlington burns speak about her documentary 'no woman, no cry.' christy's documentary film covers maternal health and follows at-risk pregnant women in four parts of the world - Tanzania, Bangladesh, Guatemala and United States. the film premieres on the OWN network on may 7th. mark your calendar/set your dvr.

in addition to what i'm sure will be an amazing film, an accompanying cd has also been released. christy created the cd with starbucks and it's made up of tracks around of the theme of motherhood and all the songs are by mothers. i bought a copy yesterday and it's amazing. the gwyneth paltrow song is my favorite, i love a good cover.

and $8 from every cd will be donated to CARE to support maternal health worldwide. one of my colleagues wrote a great blog about how the cd came together and he has nothing but wonderful things to say about christy. it's very refreshing and lovely to see someone using their name for something so good.
