SCLC Women's 33rd Annual Drum Major for Justice Awards Preview Video

   PLEASE WATCH THE WHOLE VIDEO!

It is such an honor to be honored in the Youth Category for the SCLC Women's 33rd Annual Drum Major for Justice Awards.











The honorees who are attending are actor Sean Penn, actor Samuel L. Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, etc.

This is so incredible because I have an inspirational wall in my studio that I started a year ago and it is filled with people who I admire, and who inspire me. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Is the first person I put on my wall.
