About


Rise N Shine


The CHIC Foundation helps children build confidence and self expression through creative arts. Our Rise N Shine program offers multi-week workshops in music, dance, and mindfulness, guiding youth to create original work and perform in public showcases. We aim to expand nationally and internationally to reach more communities with these life-changing experiences.
This initiative is led by Natalie La Rose, an internationally recognized artist, performer, DJ and advocate for youth empowerment. After years in the music industry, Natalie founded CHIC to give back in a meaningful way: using creativity as a tool for healing, self-discovery, and confidence-building.

The Rise N Shine curriculum was created with intention and care, blending the power of music, movement, mindset coaching, and community. The program is especially crucial at a time when arts education is being reduced or eliminated in many schools.

In 2024, the CHIC Foundation partnered with the First Lady of Suriname to launch a youth dance project that reached 40 incredible young dancers. The success of that program confirmed the impact and potential of this work. Now, with Rise N Shine launching in South LA this fall, we’re inviting donors and supporters to help us bring this mission to life.
