Project Overview
In San Francisco, California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative brought together a songwriter, lyricist, video producer and performers to create a fun, inspiring song and music video to celebrate progress, inspire hope, and encourage the community to protect themselves and others against COVID-19.
The song, titled “Happy Day Again,” features upbeat lyrics that shed light on the progress made toward slowing the spread of COVID-19, and the video features images of a community getting vaccinated, wearing masks and doing what they can to support each other. The song and video launched on April 25 via YouTube, Facebook and the nonprofit’s website.
