PICS: Essence Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon
Yesterday the who's who of black entertainment rubbed shoulders and lunched at the Beverly Hills Hotel for Eseence magazine's sixth annual 'Essence Black Women In Hollywood Luncheon' where various women of many talents were honored and awarded to include Oprah Winfrey, Gabrielle Union, Alfre Woodard, Mara Brock Akil, Naomie Harris and little Miss Oscar nominated nine year old Quvenzhané Wallis (keeping my fingers crossed for her this Sunday).

Hopefully I didn't forget that many people, all in attendance looked marvelous and deserved their shine.
What I haven't have killed for to be a fly on the wall at this event. So many talented women and men under one roof for positive tributes and honors. Hell I would have shouted in my seat to have seen Lynn, Mya, Toni and Joan pay tribute to Mara Brock Akil creator of 'Girlfriends'.
Awesome event.
