Ruth Huber is an award-winning pianist, singer, and composer who holds multiple music degrees and lives in San Jose, CA, where she teaches piano and co-directs the Rainbow Women’s Chorus. Huber says of her contribution, “This was written to commemorate the life of Gwen Amber Rose Araujo and to celebrate the lives of beautiful and courageous people everywhere.” (Araujo was a transgender teen murdered in 2002. In 2006, California Governor Schwarzenegger signed the "Gwen Araujo Justice for Victims Act" into law.)
