Why I do this work
We are living in increasingly violent and chaotic times. Our kids need us to show up for them, now more than ever.
​
Children need to feel safe, supported and understood in order to develop. They need to be seen, heard, honored for who they are, and loved unconditionally.
They also need to be shown the importance (the necessity!) of kindness, presence, understanding, co-operation and compassion in our world. They need to hear a story that challenges the one they receive from the media and our culture at large. And we, their caregivers, need this too.
​
In these times, the work of being in community with children, learning together about ways to be kind, is of utmost importance.
I bring my music and messages to children, families and communities as an antidote to the sense of fear, oppression and separation that permeates our society. We work together, in collaboration, to grow into kinder, more compassionate, more aware, more welcoming human beings.
​
Our job is to generate love, and put it out into the world. So let's get to work!

I love you...
"Music for any family that wants to instill love, sweetness, nature, thankfulness and kindness for others, in their family, community, and the world."
"It's not kids music, it's PEOPLE music!"
"Charity uses music to communicate those deep, passionate, seemingly unexpressable feelings she has about her children and motherhood....Kahn's voice is sweet yet sultry, perfectly pitched, somewhat childlike, and simply beautiful. Think Steve Nicks meets Sarah McLachlan meets Karen Peris of the Innocence Mission. I think, if I could sing like that I could get my kids to pick up their toys."
"Each song is unique but equally wonderful. And while the songs are musically beautiful, they also have an undercurrent of deep thoughts and a vision of love and acceptance for everyone in the world."
"'Free to Be, You and Me' grows up and rocks out."
"Charity is a force of love in the world."
