Legacy Award

Lifelong friends are a blessing.

Rosalind “Roz” Brewer and I met when we were 15 years old — growing up right across the street from each other in my hometown, Detroit. We attended Cass Tech High School and Spelman College together.

I was so happy to present Roz - who is currently the Interim President of Spelman- with the “Legacy Award” at our Spelman NAASC-LA Sisters Luncheon in Los Angeles. Roz has been the CEO of Walgreens Boots Alliance, COO of Starbucks, the CEO of Sam’s Club and is currently part-owner of the Atlanta Falcons football team. A true legacy leader.

We also honored Judge Mablean Ephriam, Dr. Carliss McGhee and Ashley Jackson - all amazing women! My dear friend  Vanessa Bell Calloway was our host and the incredibly talented Goapele performed for us on this beautiful afternoon.
