Rihanna “Rated R” Giveaway

Today commemorates the release of Rihanna’s anticipated “Rated R” album and I am speculating my 1,000th follower on Twitter.

It has truly been a year of ups and downs for Rihanna. The events of her February 2009 domestic dispute with former boyfriend, Chris Brown, have been highly publicized. The public has disputed whether or not she deserved the brunt of his anger, whether or not she provoked it, included allegations such as giving brown an STD and questioned her overall character as a result.

In my opinion she has risen above this in true fashion and served as a role model for young woman going through this living nightmare everywhere. Domestic violence doesn’t just happen to 30 something housewives and mothers. I myself am an survivor of an abusive relationship. In celebration of my personal triumphs and that of Rihanna, I am giving away 2 iTunes gift CDs or her latest album “Rated R”.

TheEargasm.com is my baby, and while I brush on the details of my personal life, I often do not delve deep. The abusive relationship I was involved in occurred during my senior year of college, and while the choice seems easy, it took all the courage I had within myself and that I of which I derived from my family and friends to exit the relationship, for myself and for my future. I know for a fact that if I had remained in that relationship I would never have had the support nor courage to start this site, nor made the life changing move to New York City, and ultimately change the course of my life from existing to actually LIVING.

If one of my readers is involved in a situation that is either physically abusive, verbally abusive, or both, I pray that my strength, and the strength of other woman such as Rihanna, give you the courage to choose life over presumed love.

The Giveaway works like this:

Tweet your favorite Rihanna song with the following hashtag #TheEargasm for example”

#Eargasm Rihanna “Hate That I love you”

Myself and VP of Marketing Starsky Robinson will randomly select two people to receive the CD. You do not have to be an existing or new follower of mine, and being a follower does not guarantee receipt of one of the CDs. This giveaway is to celebrate the strength that lies within us all and the ability to overcome adverse circumstances or situations, male and female.

Peace and Love
