BLACK GIRLS ROCK!
Celebrating the Beauty, Brilliance and Magic of Black Women
2024 BGR! Awards / Experience POSTPONED
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As the founder of BLACK GIRLS ROCK!, my mission has always been to uplift and celebrate the brilliance and resilience of Black women. Our journey together has been one of triumphs and challenges, and I am deeply grateful for your unwavering support.
Due to circumstances beyond our control, we must postpone the BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Awards on June 27th and the accompanying week-long BGR! Experience. The upcoming presidential debate scheduled on the same night within a mile of our event could pose significant logistical challenges, including traffic congestion, road closures, and large crowds.
We first became aware of these potential disruptions in connection with the presidential debate when it was announced, and we have since been working diligently to explore all possible options. Our priority has always been to provide a safe, exceptional and uninterrupted experience for our attendees, participants, and supporters. The expected logistical challenges and potential impact on our events led us to reassess our plans. As this is our first year back after five years, this decision was not made lightly. After careful consideration and in the best interest of all involved, we have determined that postponing the events is the most prudent course of action.
Despite this setback, our commitment to showcasing the excellence of Black women remains steadfast. The new tape date for the BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Awards and the 2024 BGR! Experience will be announced soon. This includes our highly anticipated BGR! Film Fest that celebrates the creativity and stories of Black women, The pre-awards Shot Caller Gala, and the BLACK CLOUD tech summit.
BLACK GIRLS ROCK! is a brand that I have built and continuously reinvested in. Being an independent Black woman-owned media business comes with its own set of challenges. However, these challenges only strengthen our resolve and commitment to our mission. We remain steadfast, focused, and driven, viewing this delay as an opportunity to elevate our celebration to even greater heights. Our vision for BLACK GIRLS ROCK! to evolve into a multifaceted cultural institution is clearer than ever, and we are excited to build our partnership with the City of Atlanta to achieve this vision. Your continued support enables us to push boundaries and create platforms that honor the achievements and contributions of Black women.
I would like to express my gratitude to the City of Atlanta for their ongoing partnership and to our tireless production team, whose dedication and hard work make all of this possible. We look forward to celebrating with you soon and making this year's BLACK GIRLS ROCK! experience the most memorable yet.
Thank you for ROCK!ing with us.
With love and gratitude,
Beverly Bond
