Jazmine Sullivan, Da Brat, Le’Andria Johnson, Avery Sunshine, and the all-female house band Kim Burse and the KB Players are set to perform at the Urban One Honors. This thematic of Black woman excellence will continue throughout the award show. Urban One Honors will pay special homage to the International Sweethearts of Rhythm, an all-female jazz band of the 1930s.
Grammy-Award-winning gospel artist Erica Campbell and award-winning journalist, author, and syndicated columnist Roland Martin will host the event. This year’s theme is ‘Women Leading the Change’ and will highlight the extraordinary contributions of women in business, media, health, politics, and community outreach, who are leading impactful change within the Black community.
Urban One Honors will air on Sunday, May 16, 2021, at 9 pm ET/8C on TV One and will be simulcast for the first time on TV One’s sister network, CLEO TV.
