So excited to invite you to join me at Macy’s Center City in Philadelphia, this February as they celebrate a rising icon of African American culture! African American actors, artists and performers have been at the spotlight for a long time, but this generation of trendsetters is truly special!
Join us at:
Macy’s Center City (Philadelphia, PA)
When: February 4, 5:30pm
More information can also be found at: Macys Black History Month
Join us “In Conversation” with actress Jurnee Smollet-Bell and singer Monica for a look at the next group of African American cultural trendsetters and taste makers!
I thought you would like to know more about them:
Jurnee Smollet-Bell: As an actress, Jurnee has won awards for her role in The Great Debaters and has starred in multiple TV and movie roles. Meet her just in time to ask her about her new show, Underground, airing on WGN America this spring.
Monica: Selling more than 25 million albums globally, Monica is a Grammy Award winning artist. Her new hit, “Alone in Your Heart,” and its respective album, Code Red, is a Billboard R&B chart topper and will be available at the event.
Join us at a special reception following the discussion!
Also, make a $25 purchase during the event and get a chance to meet Jurnee, take a photo with her, and also receive a copy of Monica’s latest album Code Red!
Here is a sneak peak at Monica’s album:

Philly is far from Orlando but this is something I’d want my children to watch. It’s important to educate children about different heritages.

That’s a little far for me to travel but we’ll most definitely be celebrating Black History Month. With my children being 1/4 black, it’s important that they learn more about their heritage.
