Macy’s celebrates rising stars in salute of black history month this February
This February, Macy’s celebrates Black History
Month by hailing a host of rising stars from a variety of fields including art, music, #film,
television, literature, community empowerment, the culinary arts and journalism. Black
culture has electrified the pulse of American life for generations, from music and fashion
to #film, television and activism; creating a wave of change that has helped propel the
country to new heights. Young, up-and-coming artists and community leaders are the
heart of this revolution, powered by creative self-expression and a strong connection to
their heritage. As part of Macy’s Black History Month celebrations, #film and television
actress Jurnee Smollett-Bell will lead panel discussions with other emerging stars,
focused on the influence and impact of black culture on all facets of American life.
Joining Smollett-Bell in cities across the country will be Grammy® Award-winning singer
Monica in New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Los Angeles; #film and stage
star and children’s book author Taye Diggs in Atlanta and Miami; actor Terrence J in
New York City; Black Girls Rock! founder Beverly Bond and social activist Eunique
Jones Gibson in Washington, D.C.; chef G. Garvin and illustrator Shane Evans in Atlanta
and Miami; and sports reporter Rosalyn Gold-Onwude in San Francisco.
“As a retailer with a rich history of providing A-list entertainment within the shopping
experience, we are thrilled to give our customers a glimpse into the lives and careers of
a diverse group of today’s undeniably talented leaders from a variety of industries as
they discuss the contributions of Black Americans who came before them and how they
are helping to inspire a new generation,” said Dineen Garcia, Macy’s vice president of
diversity strategies.
