To give you a brief summary, All The Rage will help raise awareness of the diversity of those affected by autism and the importance of getting them practical support, which is what we provide.
Our campaign is about raising awareness of autism in a way that hasn't been done before...

Our mantra is 'You Thought You Knew...You Didn't'..

Know one has any idea how close this is to my heart...NO ONE. In fact that's probly why some things don't work out the way i want it too, as it's too personal for me and i get caught up, which is why i have to step back at time and balance my mind out.

The support i have received has been amazing, simply amazing, the advice from people has been priceless. I love independent women and have been fortunate to be around or in the same area of some amazing women and to see them acknowledge me and recognize my work when i've only just started is an unbelievable compliment that i couldn't possibly explain....And the best thing is, some of them never really paid any attention to me till they saw what i was doing which means i must be doing something right.. .......right?

Through this amazing woman's tremendous success and compliments from around the world (literally), from the empire she has created, Melody has been the same person and treated me exactly the same from the first day I met her over 3 years ago. That say's alot about somebody and for that I am very grateful to know Ms Melody Ehsani... And this is just the beginning.

Recently i had to take myself back to a certain place.... the place where i first saw the vision and why i chose to do what i'm still doing now. I'm human and it's easy to get carried away in i guess the 'hype', what i also remembered is what my father always says to me, 'you never know what's the round the corner'. That can be in a good or bad way i guess, but it's something i carry and always appreciate what i have, people who are around me and who i can actually call friends.

All The Rage is a partnership between my company SMJ Entertainment & Resources For Autism.

I always remember when i first went to one of the nights with some of the children, at the time on a personal level i was always having problems with a friend, when i left the children and then recieved a not so nice messgae from the 'friend', i was ok, how could i not be, i haven't had to suffer, i always have food on the table and have an amazing family who love and support me and i can express how i feel if i want too. These children cannot. There not stupid, infact they have better manners than most people i meet on a day-to-day basis. I do believe they are mistunderstood and i believe EVERYONE deserves equal opportunity.

I just want you to ask yourself, how would you feel if you was hurting, suffering, simply wanted to explain how you feel and couldn't?

I realised that sometimes i let things bother me which in reality i don't need too, and i have to take myself back to why i wanted to create All The Rage.

These children haven't got a choice and yet when i looked one of the boys in the eyes i captured a feeling which left me feeling overwhelmed. I could never explain that feeling.

It's That Simple.

Random

The last few months have been crazy & done SO much in London & LA so figured I'd upload random BB pic's, which actually apart from 1st 2 are in LA...hope you enjoy. All pics from my Blackberry, hint the quality isn't the best!

He didn't want me to leave and knows exactly what to do to make me feel guilty!!!!

Apart from having the best Spa, Hairdressers and anything else luxury you could want in an airport lounge (including, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Gucci, Burberry..you get the picture), I was way more in Love with the seats in Virgin's VIP Lounge.

(Heathrow Airport, London)

My view from my LA apt. from my Blackberry - literally this doesn't even do it justice.

Most likely my fave trainers right now, i got very excited when i saw them..very & nothings beat them yet..

My crazy hilarious LA girls, I love them!

View from my LA office, I have a strong love for Beverly Hills, this picture is a good reason.

Don't be fooled by her stunning looks, this girl is the baddest business women! You have NO idea! www.shelleyoto.com

I either have to keep this brief or i'll give you an essay - welcome Rich Hil, in simple words, a legend, loner & a stoner + more...

When i talk about him, people always ask who does he sound like and to this day i've never been able to give a comparison, all i can say is visit his site and see for yourself -

www.nolimos.com

All i can say is that iv never listened to an artists in the last few years and felt something special like i do with Rich, his lyrics are on another level - a level that not all will get but should appreciate.

I call Rich a genius. I don't call many people a genius.

I'm excited for Rich Hil's future.

It's been crazy since i last blogged... A TON of things, projects, issues, blessings etc etc been happening, one project which is very close to my heart is

www.alltherage.info

which is a event im holding in London this year in support of Resources for Autism, a London based Charity (see previous blog below), as you may or may not know, i spend my time between UK & LA therefor i figured why not approach my good friends over there to help me with an awareness campaign for the event....& put it this way, didn't just receive there help in LA, i now have some suprise guests for the event in London ;)

Slacking...

Ok so i was tempted to forget my blog all together then suddenly had a change of heart, more posts coming soooon!!

Still in LA enjoying life & learning along the way...i learn something new everyday here, about people, work, culture (from what there is anyway)....one thing is i'm grateful for people around me & not so much for others lol but again its all a learning process :)

Priority

Update..

Ok so i realise i'm not too great and blogging on a regular basis, soooo the last few days i'm just going to write in bullet points!

• In LA now in a cute little apartment way way way up in the Hollywood Hills, it was a shocker for me going their for the 1st time as was with my friend Jack and we just kept going up and up and up...i think i found my hike route put it that way! The view is outstanding though, something else!
• Was good to see Jack the first day, iv known Jack for years from London but he now lives in LA which is cool as it's good to know someone from back home....the morning after i arrived he took me on a hike..when u think hike or when i think hike i think 1 or 2 miles..oh no this mofo took me on a 5.2 treck up bloody mount everest!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did say the view from the top makes it worth it and he was right so i'll let him off...but i cant see me doing that specific hike tooo often!!
  
• Got to be reunited with my LA (but British inside friend) Ayda. She came round and we just chilled and caught up which is always good with her cause she's so real and as much as i hear crap about LA ppl, i realise it's not ppl raised in LA, it's people in other cities in America who come here that are the jaded type which i still don't get but hey.
  
• Then last night met my big sister Monica Payne which anyone who knows me will now how happy i would of been as i love this women! We went to Hyde as it was her friends night and was fun, Hyde is sooooooo small but still we had fun :)
• Tonight going with Monica to see Babyface perform which i'm super super excited about as one of his songs is going to be my wedding song (have a guess?) then she also said more things are in store but i don't quite know yet, will see how the night goes, it's LA so anything is possible..literally!!

Overall just feel like i'm back to my home away from home....im always just settled here & get straight back to my routine, still have ALOT of catching up to do with so many people but iv only been here 2 days so i got plenty of time!

Will be updating again soon & i have got to upload pics, all my good one's are on my blackberry so i gotta sort that out!!

The 'a' Appeal...Reality

So following previous blog with the "a" logo, i will explain what it's all about soon...the "a" appeal represents a Autism charity based in North London which helps, children and adults who are autistic as well as the parents & relatives.

My good friend Charlotte works for this charity and always used to talk about the charity in the past and i always remember saying i would love to do some work together for the charity but we would just repeat the conversation everytime we met....till i guess we were both at a time where it felt right and we had a better purpose and understanding for each-other in knowing how it could work us working together...

I have to admit, my knowledge wasn't as good as i thought, which i soon found out after visiting one of their evening groups a few days ago, the program i went to was around 7-10 children aged between 12-15 yrs old. The charity provides each child with their own helper who would be with them at all times.
I kept asking Charlotte what are the children like really expecting 1 answer for all, when it only made sense when i met them that every child was totally different from each other.
The first thing that really stood out was how amazing the team workers were, jumped into activities and dealt with every child with total confidence in terms of how to handle them when they may get too loud or excited, and then angry and upset.

I'm not great at going into great length over an event as....i'm simply rubbish at trying to explain something!!!
The bottom line for me was that reality really sank in when i was there, understanding what the parents or/and relatives have to do inorder to keep their child safe from harms way, it requires care 24 hours a day, it's not even like you can go to sleep and start it again tommorrow as you don't know whether your child will get up in the middle of the night, i heard one case of a little girl who kept trying to jump out of her window....and she lived in a high rise....!
On top of that, you then have someone who may be in pain but can't tell you, can you imagine? Being in so much pain and not able to tell anyone, no one understanding you, your voice not being heard, the confusion....and yet i know people who shout before they think, and have no consideration for other people's voices, it's deffo makes you re-think what i used to think was a high priority in life.

It made me see what i took for granted....there's not much more to go into apart from saying it opened my eyes to what's really important.

Each child i saw had something very special about them, you had the cheeky one who would know when to smile in order to get another biscuit, the most articulate young guy who i swear had better manners than my brothers lol and then the quiet one who only had to look at your with the most beautiful eyes iv ever seen which i could of sat and stared at all night!

The event i'm working on with Charlotte is on order the raise awareness for Autism and this specific charity, it's amazing much help they don't get considering what they do for young children and their families and did you know 1 in a 100 people are effected with autism?

I heard alot of different situations and story's about different families and what they go through, how to cope..it's not something everyone is trained to understand.
This has become very close to my heart and i will not stop until we achieve exactly and more what we have set out too......


Some Stats ...

• 2.3 million people in the UK are affected by autism: family, professionals, carers etc.
• Total people with autism in UK 587,900 (approx 1% of total UK population)
• 1% of total London population is 76,000 so this is approximate number of people living with autism in London.
• There is a common misconception that autism only affects white middle class families. Autism in fact affects people of all racial, ethnic, socio-economic backgrounds.
• Contrary to popular belief, there are likely to be around 17,500 families in London from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities affected by autism.
• There are an estimated 11,000 school-age children BME communities in England and Wales affected by autistic spectrum conditions.
• 4 times an hour, every working day a person is diagnosed with autism in the UK.
• Autism is one of the most common developmental disorders and yet is still one of the least understood.
• The cost of autism to the UK exceeds 1billion per year plus the average additional lifetime costs for living support and education estimated at nearly 3 million per person.
• 21% of children with autism have been excluded from school at least once.
• Autistic children are 20 times more likely to be excluded from school.
• 85% of teenagers with Aspergers (an autism spectrum condition) attempt suicide.
