EVENT FAB: The Second Annual Ween Awards Gala

Sep 03 | by YBF

The second annual WEEN Awards (Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network) was held in New York City last night at the Asia Society and Museum. Check out YBF chics Estelle, Nia Long, Letoya Luckett, Kandi Burrus, Lyfe Jennings and a host of others when you read on...

WEEN, founded in 2007, supports the positive portrayal of women in entertainment. The awards gala is a fundraising event for some of the programs that WEEN provides for young women ages 14-28. The YBF was on the scene for the event which turned out to be a fab night for uplifting women.

This star-studded evening was full of beautiful women; proud of their roles in society and the impact they have had in entertainment. Among some of the guests in attendance was actress, Kim Coles who recently hosted the NAACP Awards and is taping another season of BET’s “My Black is Beautiful.” Kim is currently speaking around the country as a motivational speaker and she seemed extremely excited to be in the presence of so many reputable women, making a difference in the lives of today’s youth. Also in attendance were some of the scholarship recipients.

Lyfe Jennings was one of the performers at the WEEN gala.

Letoya Luckett showed up in a dress that was semi-formal on one side and "harajuku girl" on the other. She should let Nicki Minaj borrow that one.

Nia Long and a guest on the red carpet.

Nia Long looked cute in a simple red dress.

Lyfe Jennings and Bryan-Michael Cox posed on the carpet together.

I wonder if Letoya Luckett and Bryan-Michael Cox are working on music together?

Here's a solo shot of Bryan.

Kim Coles always seems so bubbly and happy to me.

Julissa Bermudez is working the legs in her outfit.

Kandi Burruss's tried a new hairstyle and it worked.

I like this dress Valeisha Butterfield stepped out in.

Even Mashonda stepped out for the gala.

Radio personalities Angie Martinez and Miss Info posed together.

Angie Martinez brought her mother along as her date.

Mary J. Blige's new artist Shontelle wore a really nice dress.

Kristi Henderson and DJ Kiss met up on the red carpet.

Radio personality Egypt was there as well.

Estelle looked very nice.

CNN's Don Lemon looked dashing.

Here's Dr. Benjamin Chavis with Shanti Das and Kristi Henderson.

Here's a nice photo of Valeisha Butterfield, CNN's Don Lemon, Gayle King and her daughter Kirby.

Hey Kim Coles!

Hey Kandi!

Julissa, Egypt and Dr. Catrise Austin took a cute photo.

I like Mashonda's necklace.

Nia seemed to have a good time.

I like Estelle's haircut.

Alright Egypt! Looking like she should be a part of the Emerald City sequence in The Wiz. I thought it over and the color is blue.

And CNN's Soledad O'Brien took a nice pic with Egypt.

BLACK WOMEN SHOULD HAVE NEVER

BLACK WOMEN SHOULD HAVE NEVER LET BLACK MALE RAPPERS/SINGERS REMOVE YOUR FACES FROM VIDEOS AND REPLACE IT WITH LATINAS. The latinos have over 130 ch. for them to shine and express themselves. They do not include black women/ppl on their networks because of
discrimination. So why is it necessary for latinas to be all over black media if latinos only hire their own people? Black women open your eyes and see what black male artists have done with your image. In the 90's, 80's etc. there were no latinas in black videos. Diddy started the latin trend when he started dating JLO and the rest of hip hop followed. If you had complained about JLO you could have stopped the latina trend. Latinas were NOT considered trendy until rappers started putting them in videos causing a chain reaction. Hollywood noticed that black people don't complain when black men are with latinas so they began pairing latinas with black men in movies. This is why black actresses can't find work. You are letting black male artists wipe your faces out of the media. BOYCOTT ALL ARTISTS/VIDEOS/MOVIES THAT SHOWS BLACK MEN WITH LATINAS. BOYCOTT BET FOR HIRING TWO LATINAS BACK TO BACK TO HOST THE NUMBER ONE SHOW ON A BLACK NETWORK. BLACK PEOPLE DID NOT DIE IN THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT SO BLACK MEN CAN MAKE THEMSELVES LOOK LIKE KINGS AND REDUCE BLACK WOMEN TO MAIDS BY GIVING AWAY JOBS TO LATINAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BOYCOTT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY UNTIL THEY BRING BACK BLACK WOMEN!
