This is a great night for great people.
00:07
I want to officially welcome you to the 7th annual Ebony Power 100 presented by Nationwide.
00:20
Tonight is about celebrating our community.
00:23
Ebony is all about telling our stories, and not just the tragedies or the defeats, but
00:29
the victories, the innovations, and the successes.
00:34
This concept is as relevant today as it was more than 70 years ago when Ebony was founded.
00:41
Ebony for me growing up has been such a beacon of the community, it's such a representation
00:47
and reflection of us doing great things.
00:49
It was in my household growing up, every barbershop I ever went to.
00:53
As a kid it was like, yo, I want to be in Ebony magazine when I get older, that's amazing.
00:57
If Soul Train taught me how to dance, and Motown taught me how to love music, Ebony
01:05
taught me how to dream.
01:09
It is pure black excellence.
01:11
It's about love, it's about family.
01:12
Women of color, people of color, diversity, inclusion.
01:15
It feels fantastic.
01:17
We're limitless.
01:19
Give it up for everybody who's getting honored tonight.
01:21
Our honorees have truly galvanized and empowered our communities.
01:25
They have each used their national platforms to bring light to social justice issues.
01:32
We're honoring 100 amazing people who are doing amazing things.
01:36
This is very significant to me, because you just never know if your work is being recognized
01:41
on this level.
01:42
It's so difficult doing the work, but when you receive validation, it makes you say I'll
01:45
rise up to keep going.
01:47
There are many, many dimensions to the black experience.
01:51
The fact that Ebony has made it an intentional part of their work to show the rich array
01:57
of black experience is hugely important to the next generation, to see the growth and
02:03
development over the arc of time in our communities.
02:07
I think you can be rich, you can be famous, you can be well-connected, but you're not
02:09
powerful if you're not leaving the world better than we inherited it.
02:16
I want to take this opportunity to thank Ebony for allowing me to be a part of this beautiful
02:22
occasion.
02:23
Just being here and being a part of a great tradition.
02:26
It's overwhelming.
02:27
I feel powerful.
02:28
You can say power is in our DNA.
02:31
Because we're going to continue to change the game.
