A well-rounded panel of judges included experts in the beauty, television, advertising, fashion and academic industries who are deeply invested in the representation of people of African descent in these spaces. Awards ranged from International Icon of the Year to The Social Impact Award and the winners were announced at the awards show on September 15th.
