Alicia Keys’ Purpose: Keep a Child Alive
In her exclusive interview with SUCCESS for our January 2010 issue, Grammy-winning musician, trend-setting pop star, and unfailing philanthropist Alicia Keys shares that, “[giving back] is a necessity for success. It’s part of it. To be successful–not just at a job or a career, but as a human being–a portion of me has to be paying attention to the rest of the world. If I’m only wrapped up in my own life, my own issues or problems, then I’m not being fair. And I’m definitely not being successful.” Music may be her passion, but here she reveals her true purpose as co-founder and spokesperson for the Keep a Child Alive charity.
