Erykah Badu is using her well-known affinity for the Afro hairstyle to help raise money for the Waterkeeper Alliance.

The Alliance is a grassroots advocacy organization committed to protecting and preserving community waterways. Badu has designed an Afro inspired label complete with butterflies and ferns for Kiehl’s body lotion. One hundred percent of net proceeds received from the sales of Kiehl’s Superbly Restorative Argan Body Lotion will directly benefit the Alliance.

Erykah Badu To Throw Charity Dance Party

Grammy Award-winning Hip Hop and Soul singer Erykah Badu turned 37 today, and she’s celebrating by throwing a charity dance party tomorrow night – and everyone is invited.

Badu will join Q-Tip and 9th Wonder at the Ghostbar in South Dallas on Wednesday, February 27, for a night of DJing and entertainment. All proceeds will go to B.L.I.N.D. (Beautiful Love Incorporated Non-Profit Development), the organization Badu established in 2003 to make positive social changes through economic, artistic, and cultural development.

“It’s quite simple,” said Paul Levatino, co-promoter and marketing representative of Badu. “Erykah wanted to do something special for South Dallas by raising money to continue community outreach programs that have been temporarily put on hold due to maintenance issues at The Historic Central Forest Theater. We picked Ghostbar due to their coordinated sincere efforts to support B.L.I.N.D. by making this event a reality.”
