BET Honors: This is What Extraordinary Looks Like

So last night BET outdid themselves with this year's broadcast of their 3rd annual BET Honors which took place in Washington, DC. The BET Honors recognized the achievements of fellow Howard Bison, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Queen Latifah, Dr. Keith Black, Dr. Ruth J. Simmons, and Whitney Houston.



Hosted by FBG Gabriel Union, several artists performed to honor them musically with uplifting songs to show them their love and appreciation.

My favorite tributes were Diddy's with Mary J Blige showing love to her "big brother" with a lot of hits they made together; as well as, Kim Burrell and Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston. Those ladies sang their hearts out to Whitney who was not afraid to "show" her gratitude for them while they performed. I didn't mind Whitney's antics because she made it clear, its better to be judged by your triumphs than by your flaws... Only if everyone thought like that!



Check out the tear jerking tribute Kim Burrell performed with her rendition of "I Believe in You and Me". This rendition encompasses how Fabulous Brown Girls everywhere should feel about one another. Thank You Kim and Whitney for that moment and thank you BET. We needed that.

Welcome to Fabulous Brown Girl

What is a FABULOUS BROWN GIRL?

She is a woman of color who knows that being fabulous means so much more than shopping, clubbing, and being stalked by every man (single or taken) in the street. She knows that truly being fabulous means doing more than the average women. She is confident, sassy, socially aware, opinionated, and philanthropic. She wants to be financially literate and eco-friendly all while stopping traffic and hitting up upscale social and networking events. This blog will cover a lot of different issues that I feel are important for a young, urban, professional woman like myself.

• Career Development


• Social Awareness


• Women Empowerment/Motivational Affirmations


• Urban Celebrities


• Financial Literacy


• Eco-Friendliness/ Going "GREEN"


• Philanthropy/ NON Profit/ Charities


• Beauty/ Hair Tips and Tricks


• Being FAB on an entry-level budget


• ... and much more
  

I will post to this blog as often as I can to share interesting links and videos to keep everyone up to date with current events as well as offer encouraging words to make sure we are striving to be as "fabulous" as we can.

The FABULOUS BROWN GIRL revolution will not be televised so stay locked in to get it all!!
