“At the chamber, our organization can be a catalyst to stimulate the growth of Black Media on a local, regional and national level,” said President of the Long Island African American Chamber of Commerce Phil Andrews. “We live in a major media capital in the U.S.; if not us then who!”

Networking with food provided by Carolynn’s Kitchen took place before the official program began. Drinks were also provided by JiuJiu Vodka and The Sip NYC. Hosted by TV Host and Actress Amelia Moore, honorees were called to the stage, recognized and given the mic to say a few words. Honoree Clive Williams and founder of Whereitzat magazine spoke to the rarity of events like these.
“Let me just thank the people who thought this idea up,” said Williams. “In my lifetime in America this is a first. Black media has not received this attention for as long as I’ve been publishing or for as long as I’ve been here. I’ve lived here about 33 years now. We’ve been publishing for over 20 years. We’ve never covered this kind of story where we’re honored by our own and this delights me.”

We have a long-term commitment to Black Media initiatives. At the chamber we are dedicated to changing the narrative of what can be done right now!”
