On July 9, 2020, Stonedef Records, Inc., announced that Billboard hit songwriter and recording artist Fawn’s “Wait For The Sun” featuring Debra Wilson. Also joining forces are Joanna Cassidy, Judy Tenuta, Kate Linder, Shanice Wilson and many others in
support of Black Lives Matter.
“After seeing the horrific video footage of Ahmaud Arbery being murdered in cold blood, I couldn’t sleep. It haunted me. Then I heard about Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Elijah
McClain and countless others.” said Billboard Hit Recording Artist Fawn.
Fawn immediately started to reach out to her, friends, acquaintances and colleagues, asking them to join with their voices.

“I couldn’t take it any longer, and I can no longer be silent, so I’m adding my voice against the atrocities, injustices and heinous actions people of color go through daily.” concluded Fawn.
“Wait for The Sun” is a song Fawn wrote about struggling and fighting your way through difficult, dark times. The message of the chorus, “Wait for The Sun” is a reminder to hold on because the sun is going to come out again.” A key unifying line is, “let the love remind you we’re one, and wait for the sun.”
The music video has a handful of soulful celebrities and people uniting for a spiritual journey into cosmic positivity and change. When Fawn saw Debra Wilson’s silent monologue performed to the song, there was one particular moment she felt captured the anguish, pain and frustration of the African American community.

The 19th Annual MMPA Oscar Week Luncheon To Hosts Celebs and Stars at Afternoon Affair
The 19th Annual MMPA Oscar Week Luncheon To Hosts Celebs and Stars at Afternoon Affair
On Friday, January 20, 2012 The Multicultural Motion Picture Association announced their upcoming 19th Annual MMPA Oscar® Week luncheon where Academy Award nominees past and present, including Producers, Directors, Film Editors, Actors, Costume Designers, and past honorees are expected to come out for a star-studded afternoon of camaraderie and praise for young up-and-coming film talent.
This year the event will be held at the Sofitel Hotel Los Angeles located at 8555 Beverly Boulevard in Beverly Hills, CA 90048 on Friday, February 24, 2012 at 12:00pm.
Per event producers as in previous years, the 19th Annual MMPA Oscar Week Luncheon will be among the highlights of the week’s activities leading up to the Oscars and the MMPA’s annual luncheon will again be among the hottest tickets in town, this year made even hotter by the buzz surrounding many Golden Globe winners and potential Academy nominees already slated to attend this star-studded affair.
“After a solid year of burgeoning creative accomplishments on the part of our diverse film community, it continues to be inspiring to see the level of Hollywood talent who continue to express their desire to be a part of this afternoon of philanthropy and giving.” said Jarvee Hutcherson, President of The Multicultural Motion Picture Association (MMPA).
The prestigious organization of actors, cinematographers, editors, writers, and directors has in the past played host to an array of celebrities and nominees from Salma Hayek, Robert DeNiro, Kate Winslet and Djimon Hounsou to Sandra Bullock, Denzel Washington, and Leonardo DiCaprio among others.
Last year at the 18th Annual MMPA 2011 Oscar Week Luncheon Civic Awards were presented to Kate Linder ( Actress, Philanthropist), Edward Lozzi ( Publicist, Edward Lozzi & Associates), Renee’ Valente (Producer, Valente Productions), Michelle Phillips (Actress, Singer) and A.C. Lyles(Paramount Pictures). Each civic honoree gave a speech after receiving their award, but the one who received an outstanding ovation was A.C. Lyles, producer from Paramount Pictures.
The Annual MMPA Oscar Week Luncheon event benefits The Multicultural Motion Picture Association’s Filmmakers Scholarship Fund. As a part of the annual afternoon affair, awards are presented annually, to filmmakers selected for their creative achievements, vision and technical talent, and in addition to financial awards toward their tuition, film companies traditionally arrange gifts of technical support for scholarship recipients.
The event is open to the MMPA members and the general public is invited to attend. The organization is selling individual tickets starting at $200 and up and group table tickets from $2500 and up for the lunch and awards show. For more information on how to get your tickets contact the MMPA office at (310)497-4554.
