Black Girls Rock! aired on BET from 2010 to 2019. This year’s event will be recorded live in Atlanta on June 27 and air later this fall on Lifetime.
The award show “has been dedicated to inspiring, elevating and celebrating Black women and girls since 2006 through content, advocacy and events which elevate women’s voices and engage Black girls in critical conversations,” per a press release.
Black Girls Rock! honors the contributions of “trailblazers, entertainers, icons, community activists, pioneers, business moguls, thought leaders and rising stars.”
“I created Black Girls Rock because I recognized that the condition of black girls could only change when we are the authors of our own stories,” Black Girls Rock! founder Beverly Bond wrote on Instagram.
