About Kind-Hearted Compassion in Action

A non-profit foundation dedicated to supporting exceptional musicians, artists and activists, who come from adverse circumstances, to be able to share their genius to creative positive social change and uplift the consciousness of humanity. When Orange County attorney Pamela Tahim’s brother Jesse asked for her help on his new project, she happily agreed. His dream was to create a movement to make popular mainstream Hip-Hop music more socially conscious. He saw the state of our world and knew the power of music and the arts could clearly make a difference. Sadly, Jesse passed away a few days later at just 24 years old, from a pulmonary embolism. In honor of her brother, Pamela, along with psychologist Dr. Sonia Singh, founded Kind-Hearted Compassion in Action Foundation, dedicated to creating awareness and activism of critical social issues such as poverty, homelessness, genocides and human rights abuses.
