The city of Atlanta is set to truly shine as the chosen host for the 2024 BLACK GIRLS ROCK!® Awards, an event aimed to honor and celebrate the myriad of achievements by black women. This illustrious ceremony, known for highlighting the influential contributions of black women across various industries, will be recorded live on June 27, 2024, at the legendary Fox Theatre. The winning combination of this awards show and Atlanta's dynamic culture is expected to not only recognize excellence but also to inspire many.

In a statement obtained by the City of Atlanta's official website, Mayor Andre Dickens conveyed his enthusiasm: "We are thrilled that Atlanta has been selected as the host city for the 2024 BLACK GIRLS ROCK! Awards." He added, "Atlanta has been nationally recognized for our commitment to championing diversity, gender equality, and inclusion efforts and we believe in the power and promise of women and girls." The Mayor's remarks mirror the city's resolve to not only host but to become intrinsically linked with the celebration of black women's resilience and accomplishments.

Beverly Bond, BLACK GIRLS ROCK!® founder, echoed the sentiment during the announcement. She highlighted the partnership's potential to forge a cultural milestone in Atlanta and to cultivate an event that goes beyond merely an awards ceremony. "Together, we aim to establish the BLACK GIRLS ROCK!® EXPERIENCE as a vital cultural milestone in Atlanta," Bond emphasized in the same announcement.

This isn't just about handing out awards—it's part and parcel of a greater vision for a city-wide BLACK GIRLS ROCK!® Experience. The lineup will include The BGR! Expo, BGR! Film Festival, the BLACK CLOUD Tech Summit, and a series of concerts under the BGFEST banner. These events are designed to not only showcase but also to conclusively lay the groundwork for future generations to celebrate the outstanding narratives and achievements of black women globally.

As Atlanta begins to prepare, the world watches with anticipation. Bond and Mayor Dickens have placed their bets on a collaborative effort that will see Atlanta transformed into the cultural heart of a movement to empower and uplift black women everywhere.
