There will be performances by ‘God’s Gurls’ and ‘Songstress Nicole Love’. We will also honor Trumpet Awards Founder, Xernona Clayton, the first woman of color to grace Atlanta Television, with ‘Defining YOUR Moment Award’; Culminating the program with TV One’s R&B Diva’s Executive Producer/Cast member Nicci Gilbert leading us in an inter-generational dialogue on “Maximizing Our Moment” with Neffeteria “Neffe” Pugh of BET’s Frankie & Neffe Show and a few other television personalities, about the highlights, pitfalls and images of today’s women in television,” says Mason.
