Favourite appearances at Black Girls Rock Awards 2012

BET presented its annual awards ceremony of Black Girls Rock!” celebrated at the Loews Paradise Theatre in New York City on Saturday. I have interviewed the founder of the ceremony Ms Beverly Bond who is a huge inspiration.

The event honors the achievements of women of color with heartfelt performances, tributes, and special awards. A few 2012 honorees included Dionne Warwick [Living Legend Award], Alicia Keys [Rock Star Award] and Janelle Monáe [Young, Gifted, & Black Award].

Brandy delivered a killer performance of new single Wildest Dreams from her album Two Eleven. Black Girls Rock! premieres Sunday, November 4, on BET possibly a week after for UK viewers.
