J Events: WEEN Awards 2015 [PHOTOS]
On November 18, 2015 WEEN hosted their 5th annual WEEN Awards in honor of outstanding individuals with a proven commitment to the empowerment of women worldwide. Despite the four-hour trip, I couldn’t pass up an evening of networking with my peers and leaders in the media and entertainment industry. Attendees included honorees Cari Champion, Rocsi Diaz, Marilyn Mosby, Tiffany Smith Anoa’i, Naturi Naughton, Regina Hall, and Faith Evans, as well as Kevin Liles, Judy Smith, Charlamagne Tha God, Angela Yee and Ja Rule. The event was held at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem, N.Y.

3 Seconds of Fame on BET’s Apollo Live
I had my 3 seconds of fame last weekend as the Apollo Live taping I attended this summer aired on BET following the Soul Train Awards.
Apollo Live is a revival of the classic talent showcase series hosted by Tony Rock. The celebrity judges include Gladys Knight, Doug E. Fresh, and New Edition’s Michael Bivins.
I was able to attend as a BET summer intern. It was great to get to see the production side of things even though I look a bit crazy unkept after a long day of work!
