The 1st Annual WEEN Awards
WEEN (Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network) is an organization that empowers young girls through entertainment. They have dedicated their mission to uplifting young girls with their “I Am WEEN” gala, and their “Don’t Judge Me… Empower Me!” tour. I have personally been affected by the development and efforts of WEEN, whether it be internship opportunities or messages from one of their co-founders, or guest speakers. I even found my mentor, Shakara Bridgers of the Get ‘Em Girls, through WEEN. I have been an active member of the organization since it started and am beyond excited and proud to see how far they have come, having their 1st Annual Awards honoring women who have uplifted and inspired their communities. The event was held yesterday at the Recording Industry Association of America in Washington, D.C.:
Award winning actress and honoree, Vivica A. Fox, attended the event with a gorgeous age and event appropriate look. Love the simple hair and subdued make-up, no need to be doing too much. Congrats on the honor!
The beautiful Malinda Williams, who was also an honoree for the night, looked simple but stunning in this black and white off shoulder dress, with bow top detail. Usually people wear the dress as it comes, which has a slight “potato bag” look, but Malinda added silhouette to he dress by cinching the waist. Good look.
Rocsi hit the red carpet, in what I perceive to be one of the best looks of the night (love those shoes!), with her co-star Terrence J. And while Rocsi’s look is usually very predictable and boring to me, she seemed to hit the nail on the head with this one. Can’t say the same for her co-star. The tie was too fat, the Louis Vuitton belt messed up the idea of it being classy, and the shoes just threw me all off! A nice tailored Tom Ford suit would have suit me just fine, or even Costume National.
Alesha Renee, who I adore to pieces, put me to sleep with this look! She should have upped the glam factor, without doing too much. She hit the carpet with Hill Harper, who I am a HUGE fan of and who was also an honoree for the night! Niiice.
