Updated: Sep 30


The 9th Annual Sheen Awards brought together the brightest stars from across the entertainment industry for a night of glamour, recognition, and celebration. Honoring excellence in various categories, the Sheen Awards highlighted the remarkable contributions of musicians, actors, influencers, and beauty innovators who have left a lasting mark on the industry.


Hosted in the vibrant city of Atlanta, the 2023 Sheen Awards were more than just another award show—they were a showcase of Black excellence, culture, and creativity at its finest. This year’s event featured a star-studded lineup of performers, honorees, and attendees, setting the stage ablaze with powerful moments of talent and recognition.


The night kicked off with a sense of anticipation in the air as celebrities, influencers, and entertainment industry icons arrived on the red carpet, turning heads with their stunning looks. From emerging stars to seasoned veterans, the Sheen Awards attracted an audience that represented the full spectrum of the entertainment world.


Among the notable attendees were celebrated music executive Benny Pough, the ever-charismatic Gary Wit Da Tea—known for his work on Dish Nation and as a radio personality—and Kellie Bowman, daughter of the legendary Dr. Sebi. The event also welcomed award-winning playwright, producer, and actor JD Lawrence, whose presence brought even more prestige to the awards show. With this caliber of attendees, the 9th Annual Sheen Awards underscored the significance of the event as a platform that celebrates excellence in entertainment, culture, and beauty.


Performances That Stole the Show


As the awards ceremony unfolded, the audience was treated to an incredible lineup of performances that spanned musical genres and brought the room to life. Performers like Young Dro and Roscoe Dash took the stage, igniting nostalgia with their hit tracks. When "No Hands" blared through the speakers, the crowd erupted, reliving the glory days of 2010 when that song ruled the airwaves. It was a highlight of the night that had everyone on their feet, reminding us of the powerful cultural moments these artists created.


But the entertainment didn’t stop there. As the awards were handed out to deserving honorees, the live DJ kept the energy high, leading into the highly anticipated afterparty. Drinks flowed, conversations sparked, and the afterparty became a hub for networking and celebrating among the attendees. For brands like ours, Becoming Her Magazine, the Sheen Awards provided a valuable opportunity to connect with other industry professionals and make important decisions for the future.


In fact, the atmosphere was so inspiring that Jasmine and I made an important business move that night: we decided to have her take the reins and run the magazine. Sometimes, when you’re surrounded by such creative energy and excellence, the right decisions become clear.

The 2023 Sheen Magazine Awards were not just about the performances. The night also honored individuals and brands who have made significant contributions to Black culture and entertainment. These honorees represented the visionaries, innovators, and leaders who have shaped the industry over the years, pushing boundaries and setting new standards.


From musicians and actors to beauty influencers and entrepreneurs, the awards ceremony recognized the importance of their work and how it has paved the way for the next generation of creators. The celebration of Black excellence was felt throughout the evening, as each honoree took the stage to accept their awards with grace and gratitude.


As the night progressed, it became clear that the 9th Annual Sheen Awards were about more than just recognizing talent—they were about fostering a sense of community and creativity. For those of us in attendance, it was a moment of reflection on how far we’ve come and where we want to go in the future. As Jasmine and I watched the event unfold, we found ourselves thinking about how we want to show up for our own brand moving forward.


The Sheen Awards reminded us of the importance of celebrating not only our own achievements but also the contributions of others who are making waves in the entertainment industry. It was a night that reinforced the value of hard work, creativity, and the undeniable influence of Black culture on the global stage.


As the curtains closed on the 9th Annual Sheen Awards, it was evident that the event had once again succeeded in bringing together the best and brightest in the industry. With unforgettable performances, powerful moments of recognition, and a guest list that read like a who’s who of entertainment, this year’s Sheen Awards continued to serve as a beacon of excellence.


The anticipation for next year’s Sheen Awards has already begun. The 2023 edition set a high bar, and as fans and attendees look forward to what’s next, one thing is certain: the Sheen Awards will continue to play a pivotal role in celebrating Black excellence and shaping the future of entertainment.


Until the next event, HerReaders! P.S. sorry for posting this late, but we were still buzzing from the excitement!Until next year Sheen Awards will see us in 2024!
