Alicia Keys and AK Worldwide announced today that Alexis Tirado has landed the highly-coveted Head Blogger position for Keys’ soon-to-be-launched website IAAS.com (I Am A Super Woman). In April, Alicia Keys partnered with Monster.com, the leading job matching engine, to launch a national pursuit for the Head Blogger of IAAS.com.
Tirado previously served as an online editor at Martha Stewart, where she increased total page views by 500% and spearheaded the “Dreamers Into Doers” project online as well as for Martha Stewart’s radio channel. As a freelance writer, the New Jersey native has contributed to Latina, Village Voice, and Time Out New York.
“We really loved Alexis from the very beginning, her personality shined through immediately, as did her spirit— after a full day of work at the Black Ball, she still found time to volunteer at a local soup kitchen, which really impressed us,” said Alicia Keys. “Monster was a fantastic partner in helping us find Alexis, who will help us shape a smart, dynamic and fun new platform that will celebrate and champion the voices of women.” (Read more… )

I Love This Man by Alicia Keys |

Michael Jackson is a wonder…A wonderful man from another world that blessed us with his presence and gifted us with witnessing creativity at its finest.
I’ve always been a fan, I mean, who isn’t? I love this man. I try to imagine how exactly it was when he got into the studio. I imagine him being like a fountain of ideas. Floating melodies, rhythmic beat boxes flowing from his mouth. Bright energy and dances that just appeared out of every moment. How badly do I wish that I could have witnessed anyone of those magical Quincy Jones sessions. Can you IMAGINE how THAT was!
Michael Jackson is absolutely the most important artist of my generation! He changed everything. And still to this day, Michael’s flows, dance moves, performances, and video inspirations are everywhere you look! That’s how you KNOW he was a force of nature that was meant to come before us and show us what innovation and fearlessness looks like!
And that’s my favorite thing about him. How he was unafraid to be totally unique, and special and one of a kind. THAT’S how you become unforgettable!! (Read more… )

Alicia Keys shed her superstar image this week for a low-key Zulu blessing ceremony held beneath a “healing tree” in KwaZulu-Natal.
The Grammy award-winning singer, who is about five months pregnant, arrived in South Africa to headline the Fifa Kick-Off Concert in Soweto last week.
On Wednesday, Keys and Swizz Beatz, her music producer fiancé, both decked out in beads and leopard print, had their union and their unborn child blessed in a traditional ceremony at Illovo on the South Coast.
The ceremony took place under a huge fig tree – dubbed “the healing tree” – which symbolises good fortune and good health. (Read more… )

“My look isn’t plotted out, like, I’m going to have red hair because it’s a new record. It has to be genuine, not a branding concept.” – Alicia Keys: Elle Magazine, July 2010
