At the end of January, I was nominated for a ByBlacks People’s Choice award. I’m so excited to share that I won Photographer of the Year!! Thank you to everyone who voted for me. I can’t thank you all enough for your unwavering support. It fuels me to keep going!
ByBlacks.com is the leading resource for Black Canadians. It’s an online magazine featuring everything about the black community. They have a variety of topics discussed including arts, business, news, and politics. This is the first ever ByBlacks People’s Choice Awards, with 50 different categories. It was really an honor to be nominated and named a winner among so many talented people across the country. I am really proud to see the magazine lead by an inspiring and fabulous woman – the Editor-in-Chief – Camille Dundas.
At the event, we were presented our awards, and all of the winners had their pictures taken by Lawrence Kerr. We also had the opportunity to mingle with other award winners while we were there. It was great to see so many of my friends and people I admire win awards as well! My clients turned friends, Makeba Lindsay won for Blogger of the year and Shakera Martin‘s company, Carnival Spice, won for Best Dance Company! I was hoping that Drake and Daniel Caesar would have shown up to pick up their awards as well, but sadly we didn’t cross paths this time around! 🙂
Congrats to all the winners and special thanks to ByBlacks for making a space to celebrate black excellence in Canada.
