Black Music Honors is a televised event that pays tribute to legendary artists that have made significant contributions to African American music.  

During the 2019 Black Music Honors, Yolanda Adams was presented the Gospel Music Icon Award and received a beautiful musical tribute from Jekayln Carr, Kelly Price, and Le'Andria Johnson.   We had the pleasure of speaking with Yolanda Adams, during the red carpet event.

​​Jermaine Sain, shares his childhood memory of calling the radio station and requesting "My Liberty", recorded in 1982, by Southeast Inspirational Choir with Yolanda Adams on lead vocals.  

Wasn't that a powerful message?  We absolutely love her.........and if that wasn't enough!!!!!
