Salon: Slideshow and video of the accomplishments of HearMe.

'HearMe: The Imagine Project' won the Audience Award at the Elevate Film Festival from its 5,000 attendees; a film documenting orphans in Iraq, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Cambodia, Puerto Rico and Compton connecting through musical opportunity and communion. Shae and her producing partner Kevin Jackson donated music studios to each orphanage and asked the children to create their own song based on John Lennon's 'Imagine'. The project inspired such a profound reaction, they founded the non-profit HEARME, Inc. to carry the vision forward.
