Alicia Keys Honored At 1st Annual BET Honors Awards
Posted by Brian
BET held their 1st annual BET Honors awards over the weekend and the winners were:
-Entrepreneur. Janice Bryant Howroyd, CEO, ACT*1 Personnel Services
-Corporate citizen. Richard D. Parsons, chairman, Time Warner
-Education. Cornel West, professor of religion and African-American Studies, Princeton University
-Media. Tyra Banks, executive producer, America’s Next Top Model and The Tyra Banks Show
-Public service. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif.
-Entertainment. Alicia Keys, singer/songwriter
Alicia Key’s said “For me, I’m just a girl still from Harlem, and here I am, It’s a tremendous feeling to do what you love and for people to love what you do. … People are honoring me for doing what my heart tells me to do, (and that is) so fulfilling.”
As far as I know, Richard Parsons is the last remaining Black Chairman of a Fortune 100 compnay. He was previously CEO as well, but stepped down from that post at the beginning of the month.
This will be one of the few decent shows that you can tolerate on BET.
