Yoko Ono has been named the first Global Autism Ambassador by the Autism Speaks organization!!
The wife of the late John Lennon was given the title for creating a piece of art called Promise last year, as a dedication to World Autism Day, which is April 2nd.
While accepting the honor, she said: "As an artist the concept of distance means nothing to me, you can bring the whole world together with a song, a painting or a single word and that is what I have tried to achieve with Promise and I hope it has been able to make a difference."
Yoko Ono was exhibiting her art in Boston a few years ago and she invited me as her guest, at that time she told me her major concern was helping young artists express their talent. In ISH Celebs Give Back we applaud her on going efforts.
