The beauty of attending any event associated with the NAACP organization is that is steeped in
history as well as having an eye on future icons. So when I saw a tale of two Kuntas on the red
carpet with Actor Levar Burton, who originally played Kunta Kinte in the historic mini-series
Roots, side by side with the Actor Malachi Kirby who plays the same character in the re-imagined
Roots which premiered on the History Channel I knew this would be a special event. The NAACP
Image Awards Nominees' Luncheon was held at the Loews Hollywood Hotel with nominees and
legends walking the red carpet. I paused when I first saw Actor LeVar Burton, I mean do you blame
me? I grew up on Reading Rainbow, a little older in my childhood I understood the powerful
nature of Roots and his indelible performance, and I was hyped to see him on Star Trek. His
ability to have such range was amazing. He was just as gracious as dignified and gracious as I
imagined. Saying the name of my outlet "Young, Bold, And Regal' with an emphasis on the
"Regal". That was great!
I spotted actress Yvonne Orji of Issa Rae's hit HBO Show Insecure.

The places I saw here are really wonderful, celebrating a special event like this with the beauty of nature is really cool. When you are in this place, there's nothing you can do than to be happy. I really liked event venue Atlanta here.
