BET WH Correspondent Andre Showell, Angel Elliott and Guest

After the BET Honors took place Saturday night, we threw an after party at the Reagan Building (1300 Pennsylvania Ave.) in true BET style, complete with glitz, glamour and a-listers.

The event was decadently decorated by the illustrious Andre Wells and team, and DJ D-Nice was on the 1’s and 2’s. Also in the building was the BET Honors host Gabrielle Union, CW’s Paul Wharton, Trey Songz (who briefly serenaded the ladies at the DJ booth) and Redskins #11 Devin Thomas.

The Ludacris Foundation's 6th Annual Benefit Dinner

This past Saturday night I attended The Ludacris Foundation’s 6th Annual Benefit Dinner. The Reagan Building on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC served as the venue. The event honored public figures who are making a conscious effort to positively change the Black community for good.

The Ludacris Foundation Casino Night After-Party

The awards dinner is aimed at honoring individuals making a difference in the African American community by advancing the causes of education, literacy, public service, music, and business.

At the Casino Night After-Party after the gala, you’ll get to see your favorite politicians and celebrities breaking it down on the dance floor to live entertainment, participating in some (ahem) legal gambling; and winning some pretty hot prizes- its Luda after all.

Of course I’ll be in the building, giving you more than a birds eye view into the festivities. Don’t want to wait? You can experience it first hand. Buy your tickets HERE.
