The Afro-American, August 15, 2015 - August 21, 2015
Café Mocha, WHUR radio show, honored eight African American and Latino Women innovators on July 25 during a Salute Her: Superwomen Making a Difference Awards brunch for being trailblazers in media, community activism, religion and fashion design. The brunch took place at the Howard Theater in Northwest D.C. and was presented by Hyundai Motor America. The event was hosted by Café Mocha producer and co-host Angelique Perrin along with actor TC Stallings (star of upcoming motion picture ‘War Room’) and also included a special guest performance by Kindred the Family Soul. The Washington Salute Her: Superwomen Making a Difference Awards recognized a diverse group of African-American and Latino women who all share a common commitment to make a positive contribution to strengthen their respective communities. Salute Her also serves as a fundraiser to support the Howard Theatre Restoration, Inc. STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) initiative to improve education for Youth K-12 in the Washington community.
