“…once I received the MC Lyte #EducateOURMen Scholarship to Dillard, I knew that I was destined to have a fulfilling college experience that was beyond my wildest dreams and I cannot thank MC Lyte, Lynn Richardson and the Hip Hop Sisters Foundation enough for investing in me and being one of my strongest support systems,” said Joshua Williams, a valedictorian at historically Black Dillard University.
This week, actresses Elise Neal and Jennifer Freeman hosted the Behind the Burger Event for the re-grand opening of the BurgerIM on Melrose in Hollywood, CA. Attendees included Jensen Atwood (“Noahs Ark”), Miles Brock (“Love & Hip Hop Hollywood”), Alesha Renee (“Girl Code”), Courtney Harrell (NBC’s “The Voice”); NBA player Kibwe Trim, celebrity publicist Kita Williams, DJ Alysen, MC Spicy Mari and more. Celebs came out to celebrate the opening and support the black owned franchise and co-owners Andreas Wright and John Hollingsworth had patrons sampling their new “Bigger Better Burger” that is only available at this location.
