About a week ago, I interviewed Esther Ijewere - the project Coordinator of the Celebrities Walk Against Rape. She listed Mrs. Tara as one of the celebs 
that will be walking on April 16. A day after the phone interview, she contacted me to say she had good news.
Esther: "After speaking with you yesterday, I got a call from Mrs Tara Durotoye of House of Tara makeup Intl and she said she is launching new range of products today called H.I.P and she is dedicating half of the proceed she makes to the walk against rape campaign and gave me the opportunity to speak to her guest for 20mins. Her staff wore the walk against rape branded t-shirts by TARA herself, she blew me off ya feet sis.....i had fun at the event!"
