Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Engulfed with intention and full of heart, this award ceremony gave Black women who make a difference their rightful flowers. In 2020, Marz Lovejoy birthed a revolutionary idea inspired by the beloved poet and author Maya Angelou’s Still I Rise. “And Still We Ride,” a New York-based nonprofit pouring into the needs of Black maternal health came about organically as Lovejoy’s ethos of activism is solely based in community, not accolades or attention. Since then, she’s been able to raise roughly $15,000 for Black Women’s health organizations such as Mama Glow, Black Women’s Blueprint, and Glits Inc., all through her accessible annual bike ride.

Michelene Auguste, a model hailing from Trinidad and Tobago, brings high-quality and unique items to her beloved Brooklyn boutique. Studio Dem, a creation of Michelene Auguste is the culmination of the model’s largest manifestations. Inside the store, customers will come across an easygoing ambiance paired with creations that are one-of-one by Caribbean designers and vintage items. But also within the store located in Williamsburg, there is an air of distinction brought forth by Auguste who craved a space that was wholly hers that could serve as a communal gathering space. Initially opening as a pop-up in Lower Manhattan back in 2019, the now-Brooklyn location feels like a “divine arrangement,” according to the shop owner.
