Much like its ‘BET Honors’ counterpart, the event enlists some of music’s best and brightest performers to serenade and shine light on women of color who have made impacts on and in their respective personal and professional communities.
The Taraji P. Henson hosted showing honored R&B singer Solange, political force Maxine Waters, Issa Rae, Roberta Flack, Yara Shahidi, and so many more.
