Sha Battle, holds a special place in my heart. She’s another friend that will pick up the phone to call and check in on me. A great supporter of my events, she will show up and plug herself into wherever she’s needed without expecting anything in return. She’s also pushed and encouraged me to go higher and she does her very best to promote my business.

I wanted something legendary for Minority Women in the arts. I had an interest in creating something historic that would uplift Minority Women. That’s when I created Black Women In Jazz Awards. The Arts portion came about six months later. This year, 2022 will be the 8th award show for Black Women In Jazz & The Arts Awards. I am the founder and creator of March is International Black Women In Jazz & The Arts Month.

In April 2016, after creating Black Women In Jazz & The Arts Awards, I felt that Black History Month was not enough to celebrate the contributions that Women of Color have made to world history. Many contributions have never been acknowledged. I knew that March was Women’s History Month and I am so happy about that but felt like Black Women needed our own month to celebrate the contributions that we have made and continue to make. So, I decided that we would create April as Black Women’s History Month where we would focus on the contributions from domestic engineering to medicine to politics to inventions to entrepreneurship and all in between, would be celebrated. I had no idea that Minority Women had contributed so much to this world because most of it was not taught in schools in the past.
