Kevin Liles, former president of Def Jam, offers a frank discussion on the nature of celebrity and activism. What are the best practices for celebrities or people of influence to drive awareness or action towards a specific cause? What is the responsibility of any individual to push for information and fundraising on issues, particularly if that person has a dedicated fan base? And how does the pervasiveness of social media facilitate these requests?
