It was a big weekend for actress Nia Long, who celebrated her 40th birthday and hosted this year's Black Girls Rock! awards in NYC. YBF folk began the weekend with the Black Girls Rock! Shot Callers Dinner at Fred's on Friday, before attending Nia's birthday party at a private location later that evening. Pics of both fab events inside...
Nia Long officially turns the BIG 40 on October 30th and she was joined by friends, Rhonda Cowan, Anthony Mackie, Debra Lee and Robert Verdi to bring in the special occasion. She looked simply beautiful while doing so.
The photographer seems to have Nia and Anthony laughing and having fun.
Her good friend Tonya Lee Lewis stopped by. And fyi, Nia's skin is FLAWLESS! I need her secret asap!
Here's Nia posing with Emil Wilbekin, Beverly Smith, Tonya Lee Lewis and Spencer Means.
And later with Bobby Joseph, Lou Miguel, and Sabai Burnett.
Happy B-day Nia!
This year, BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Inc. celebrates five years of highlighting women of color who have made outstanding contributions in their careers. Earlier in the evening, YBF folk celebrated the kickoff of the Black Girls Rock! event with a dinner at Fred's in NYC.
DJ Beverly Bond, founder of Black Girls Rock! Inc. , and BET President Debra Lee said they were excited this year's award show will air on BET.
We also caught Debra Lee posing with Malinda Williams. I'm loving Malinda's new curly crop.
And later with entertainment lawyer Londell McMillian.
D-Nice was on the ones and twos.
There is alot going on with June Ambrose's outfit, but I still heart this pic of her and Ruby Dee.
Michaela Angela Davis and Crystal McCrary smiled for the cameras.
And D-Nice hit the pink carpet with activist Kevin Powell.
But Dr. Michelle Callahan's shoes stole the show. Loves them.
You can check out the Black Girls Rock! show on BET November 7th at 8pm/7c.
