Each year, we learn something we didn’t know about the contributions that Black men and women in times past and in the present day have made. We had so much fun at last year’s celebration, and are excited to partner again with Macy’s this year as they celebrate Black History Month.

Join Macy’s this February as they salute a rising icon of African American culture! African American actors, artists and performers have been commanding the spotlight for decades, but the newest generation of trendsetters is in a class all its own.

Throughout the month, Macy’s will be hosting events at several of their locations with celebrity guests at each location. Here’s a list of all the event dates and celebrity guests:

• Macy’s Herald Square (New York, NY) – Feb 3, 6pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Monica, Terrance J
• Macy’s Center City (Philadelphia, PA) – February 4, 5:30pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Monica
• Macy’s State Street (Chicago, IL) – February 10, 5:30pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell
• Macy’s Metro Center (Washington D.C) – February 11, 5:30pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Beverly Bond, Eunique Jones Gibson
• Macy’s Lenox Square (Atlanta, GA) – February 12, 7pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Taye Diggs, Chef G. Garvin, and Shane Evans
• Macy’s Aventura (Miami, FL) – February 13, 2pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Taye Diggs
• Macy’s Union Square (San Francisco, CA) – February 17, 6pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Monica, Rosalyn Gold-Onwide
• Macy’s Baldwin Hills (Los Angeles, CA) – February 18, 6:30pm
  • Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Monica

We’ll be present and accounted for at the Washington, DC event, and we can’t wait to meet Jurnee Smollet-Bell, Beverly Bond, and Eunique Jones Gibson – even though I am a bit jealous of the folks in New York (Terrance J is my #2 celebrity crush, and Monica is Monica…period).

As an actress, Jurnee (pictured above) has won awards for her role in The Great Debaters and has starred in multiple TV and movie roles. Meet her just in time to ask her about her new show, Underground, airing on WGN America this spring. Beverly Bond (pictured below founded Black Girls Rock; a girls’ empowerment nonprofit organization. Bond and BGR are dedicated to giving girls a positive self-image, education, and the leadership skills to succeed in life.

Motivational speaker and activist, Eunique Jones Gibson (pictured below) has used social media to launch the “Because of Them, We Can” and “I AM Trayvon Martin” campaigns. Eunique has helped to empower young black people by honoring their ancestors’ legacies ad has inspired people to use their own voices to highlight the need for change.

If you’d like to attend the event in DC, be sure to rsvp here. For more information and to RSVP for any of the other locations, go to macys.com/celebrate.
