The Moments In Love Movement started as a one-woman, cabaret show in Greenwich Village New York in the late 90s for Ms. Charles. From there, it has evolved into an original musical project from Ms. Charles as she’s drawn upon her own experiences in love and life through live performances and recordings.

"We Can Make A Difference" by Benita Charles was originally written as a tribute song regarding the events of the tragedy of September 11, 2001 in New York & Washington DC. Ms. Charles wrote it in the spirit of how we are all connected and all deeds no matter how big or small can make an impact. It is a testament to the human spirit that during a time of tragedy, we all can make a difference one way or another to make things better no matter how big or small. Even in today's times with the anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina tragedy, it is more imperative today that people reach out and help each other. The 3-track CD is an inspirational mix of songs to express not only the American spirit but international humanity.

Special Thanks To: Ken Brothers, Andrew McCann, Tara Cheparev, John P. Hopkins and Walter Fischbacher of Lofish Productions NYC and Edward Vinatea of CD Digital Music Services, NYC.
