2011 Black Girls Rock Awards!


Hola peeps!  I hope you are having a great weekend.  Last night was the 2011 Black Girls Rock event here in NYC and it appears to have been a fab time had by all!  If you aren’t familiar with the organization then you should know that DJ Beverly Bond is the founder of BGR; which mentors young black girls and works towards fading the negative images of Black women in the media.  

My plan is to definitely be in attendance next year.  However for now I am sharing some of my fave images from the extraordinary night courtesy of www.essence.com.  Some of my fashion and hair muses were in the house—Tracee Ellis Ross, Jill Scott, and Mary J. Blige to name a few.  The show airs on BET Nov 6th.  Enjoy!
