Harris, who is CEO of Lady Boss Ent., has partnered with college professor and motivational speaker Khalil Osiris, who did a stint in jail. The initiative aims to reverse the violence in the communities in New Orleans using “highly trained street violence interrupters and community outreach staff, public education campaigns and community mobilization.” “In order to make collective and positive change on the streets of New Orleans today, we need everyone to exert their individual voting power holding their candidates accountable and true to their platform,” Harris said in a statement. “We need everyone’s voice to be heard. We need their voice to be heard by getting out there taking care of our communities.” Harris and Osiris will appear at Montrel’s Bistro on January 31 to promote the Stop The Violence initiative.
