Choose to Unite is a music video made by Susan Slotter with Eric George (music), Grant Taylor (videography) and a community of souls in Santa Fe on fire for Barack Obama. It was five months in the making, with hundreds of people contributing their time, talent and spirits on a pro bono basis. This was Susan's first foray into writing and producing a song and music video, which kept her on her toes with a 24/7 learning curve! "Actually, it evolved in the same way all forms of SoulScapes have. Once receiving the inspiration — in this case, lyrics for the song — I committed to bring it through, following each next step in the unknown without having any idea what it would look like in the end. I love that the values it embodies poured through in the making of it — diversity, community, unity, love and equality."
