Black History and Lifestyle Awards focuses on the successes, bravery, and vison of the African-American community as well as people who have triumphed in both significant and modest ways throughout the broader African diaspora.

The Black History and Lifestyle Awards ceremony honors African accomplishments at home and abroad while recognizing their contributions to bridging the gap between African arts, rich cultural heritage, triumph, and adversities, and raising awareness for black pasts and present accomplishments as well as black-owned businesses.

It is HyperCitigh’s partial objective to showcase some of the great people of African descent and their contributions as well as share some key events for the youth to emulate.

Currently, we all know the necessity of good role models for grooming our youths. The above is only a snapshot of the many we seek to showcase to encourage our youths.

In this era of misinformation and peer pressure, stereotyping and others, we all have the obligation to steer our youth in the right direction and not to fall them on the wrong path while we write and document our future today.

Let's create and document today for tomorrow. We need to write our future now.
