Hello, everyone. I'm Ricardo Dérose, also known as Ricky Dérose. I'm the idealist of Philoetry and own several businesses that aim to make a positive difference in the world. Today, I want to share the story behind my song, "Be A Humanitarian."
This song is very special and personal because a tragic event inspired it in my homeland, Haiti. On January 12, 2010, a devastating earthquake struck near the capital city, Port-au-Prince, killing over 200,000 people and displacing millions more. It was one of the worst natural disasters in history, and it affected me and my Haitian family deeply.
I am excited to be performing at "It's Yesterday Once More" a tribute concert in aid of Navjeet Community Health Centre on 24th April 2022 at 6:30PM at Rang Mandir, Bandra. There is a stellar line up of amazing singers, choral groups and dancers. We hope to see you in the audience! Passes are available at Navjeet Community Centre, Bandra West #RetroMusic #NavjeetCommunityHealthCentre #Musicforacause #Music @yesterday__once.more https://www.instagram.com/p/CcpfWijPkix/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Coming soon! About to be unleashed brand new website for @rocknrecovery powered by Social Sher. Months of planning! Months of setbacks! Creating & planning was a mad house. I spent countless hours and energy. My developer spent even more countless hours and energy. Tonight our executive board reviews it. Sunday night at Board of Trustee dinner I will unveil it to the team. Big partnerships and opportunities are coming. I got involved to honor my mother. But it has become way more than that for me. Stay tuned! Happy to be s trustee member. Wait til we start marketing.

#throwbackthursday Last month I went to an informative and then very entertaining Event called #911accessevent Reformscorrections.wixsite.comTheir main goal is to educate the public about the crisis corrections Canada is facing. Raising awareness about the multitude of human rights violations inmates face. The rising number of preventable deaths within our institutions and discussing preventative measures to incarceration. As well as taking action to ensure all jail cells are equipped with the hardwired 911 button. “It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. The nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones” Nelson Mandela #concertforacause #foracause #musicforacause #musicevent #liveshowphotography #undergroundhiphop #risingstars #rapperswithbars #lyricalmonster #lyricsmatter #musicisnotfree #hiphopcanada #talentedartists #hiphopartists #helppeople #deathsincustody #humanrightsforall #jail #reform #corrections #advocates #advocating #unlockingchange #inquests #prevention #preventsuicide #helpwithmentalhealth (at 93&King) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2nPh5en9bp/?igshid=1l9q9l0aha63d
