The multi-platinum selling artist and Destiny's Child alumnus is to be the public face of Staying Alive in June 2008, dedicating herself to raising the profile of the global charitable foundation, whose mission is to empower young people who are protecting themselves and their communities against HIV and AIDS. Rowland will take her first steps in her new role as Staying Alive Ambassador during her solo tour of Africa later this year, when she takes her upbeat brand of stylish R&B to music fans in South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya and Angola.
