A Look Back at 2024
SHEEN Magazine's annual awards ceremony lit up the skies of Atlanta Friday night, proving unstoppable even in the face of Hurricane Helene. The event celebrated exceptional individuals who have significantly influenced Black culture, both in history and the present day, making for an awe-inspiring occasion. This year's ceremony held special significance as it commemorated the magazine's 10th anniversary, honoring trailblazing Black icons and contemporary influencers in film, television, comedy and music.
Gary with the Tea, celebrated for his role on Dish Nation as a co-host, radio personality on Rickey Smiley syndicated show, and actor, took on hosting duties for the first time, sharing the spotlight with OWN Network's Belle Collective cast member and radio personality on 97.7 The Beat of the Capital Tambra Cherie. In light of the significant contributions previous co-host Headkrack gave, we were delighted to offer him his very own VIP Media Lounge—an exclusive platform dedicated to interviewing A/B List Celebrities, high-profile talents, and influential personalities. The evening was a dynamic tribute to the accomplishments of Emmy, Grammy and Tony winner Billy Porter, multi-talented comedian and the legendary R&B group Confunkshun, music industry executive and marketing expert Shanti Das, and acclaimed film director and producer Leslie Small. Electrifying performances by both new talents and established artists made the evening truly unforgettable for all in attendance.
