Baby, Rev Run & Others Honored At Sister 2 Sister's Intergenerational Celebration - AllHipHop

Baby, Rev Run & Others Honored At Sister 2 Sister’s Intergenerational Celebration

Sister 2 Sister Magazine will hold it’s 5th Annual Intergenerational Celebration, which pairs hip-hop and R&B singers with various politicians from across the country and honors those that contribute to African-American culture. DC Mayor Anthony Williams; Congressman Charles Rangel (D-NY); Baby of Cash Money, Angie Stone, Congresswoman Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-MI); Reverend Run from Run DMC; gospel group Virtue and FUBU executives Keith Perrin, Daymond John, Carl Brown and J. Alexander Martin, Executive Vice President of FUBU will attend the event. "Our goal is to bridge the gap between the baby-boomer and hip-hop generations," said Sister 2 Sister’s owner Jamie Foster Brown said. "As a mother of two hip-hop generation sons, I’ve seen first hand the communication gap that can emerge between the generations. That gap can represent a missed opportunity to reach our young people and focus in on important issues that our young people deal with." The luncheon and awards ceremony will be hosted by radio personality Russ Parr and Jay Cooper, formerly of BET’s Teen Summit. The event is scheduled to kick off with an invocation by Reverend Run and will wrap up with a performance by Angie Stone. "I will never forget being paired with Queen Latifah," Congresswoman and participant Maxine Waters said. "It opened my eyes to the way many of our young people experience society today, and it was especially eye-opening to see the influence someone like Queen has on today’s youth."
