SZA, Niecy Nash & More Give Flowers At Black Excellence Brunch
#ToBeCelebrated: SZA, Niecy Nash, Kyla Pratt & Tabitha Brown Celebrate Their Behind-The-Scenes MVPs At Swanky Black Excellence Brunch In West Hollywood
What’s better than being Black and excellent?
In honor of the Oscars and Women’s History Month, the famed Black Excellence Brunch gave flowers to behind-the-scenes MVPs who contribute to the success of beloved stars SZA, Kyla Pratt, Niecy Nash, and Tabitha Brown.
Nash set the tone with a touching speech dedicated to her supportive wife Jessica Betts, Tabitha Brown celebrated her long-time glam team Brandie King and Shaylin Jones, Grammy-winner SZA gave flowers to her creative director/choreographer Cortland James, and Kyla Pratt celebrated her mother Kecia Pratt for her unwavering support throughout her career.
Powered by Don Julio Tequila, the “To Be Celebrated”-themed affair brought out some of LA’s flyest tastemakers for good vibes, delicious eats, and feel-good music at a stunning gated Spanish villa in West Hollywood.
Notable attendees included NAACP Image Award-nominated husband and wife Angel Moore and Marcus Tanksly, actress Kellee Stewart, Emmy-nominated choreographers Tia Rivera and Adrian ‘DJ’ Dubs, actor/influencer Kendall Kyndall, and Creative Director Joey Harris who were celebrated for their contributions to Oscar-nominated films.
“We decided to do something different and host an extension of @blackexcellencebrunch coined “To Be Celebrated,” said Black Excellence Brunch founder Trell Thomas who co-hosted the event with Shawn Finnie,
The idea was to create an award show ceremony that loved on the people behind the people we love and made a space for this award season’s celebrated figures/ heroes in Black culture to honor/celebrate the people behind them that help make it possible for them to get to award stages.
It was so beautiful to see @niecynash1 celebrate her amazing and talented @jessicabettsmusic, to hear @kylapratt speaks so beautifully about her mom’s contributions to the women she is today, to watch @sza give well deserved credit to the man that gives her the courage to perform and helps her push her limits and for @iamtabithabrown to show us the magic behind “Donna” and that gracious face that we know and love.
To say my heart is full is a complete understatement! There is no way to describe the warmth and love of yesterday. Admittedly, I almost had a breakdown when It started to pour raining out of nowhere but quickly realized the quick rain and immediate sun only made way for a beautiful rainbow to shine over the event—wow!”
