My former business partner, Ms.Ruth Sinclair aka @ruthdunnartist was an extraordinary person! Brilliant in so many ways, an artist who leveled up Khamit Kinks with her dynamic vision. She was like a magnet the way she attracted and enchanted people with her loving ways and innate wisdom. You often said. “All of this is temporary.” And that’s the truth, Ruth! I know you are carrying on wherever you are, wowing those in your orbit. #ruthsinclair #ruthdunn

It was January 2016, Black Food ways writer, author, and friend @foodculturist invited me to a neighbor’s soirée. That was the night I met @elle_simone_scott in-person. We had long been friends on social media. She was kind, engaging, and funny offering accolades for my career. Travel in the Light of Love, sweet Chef Elle! #chefelle #cheftheresanelson #ancestors✨💗💫

Before there was me, there was she
The OG Anu (yes, we have the same name lol), the legend, the icon Anu Prestonia ✨
A true pioneer in African hair braiding, opening one of the very first shops in the industry. Today, she continues to inspire with her all-natural perfume line.
Let’s not wait to give her her flowers 💐 Drop a bouquet in the comments and celebrate a woman who has paved the way for Black women in business.
A living example of beauty, vision, and legacy. We honor you✨🙏🏾

THREE LEGENDS - ONE FIGHT💪🏾
Amazon Smiley @amazonsmiley
Anu Prestonia @khamitkinks
Natasha Gapsard @natashagaspard@manemoves
They built platforms before there were stages. They created space where none existed. They are the foundation of our industry. These Master Pioneers are legends—not just for their talent, but for their unwavering commitment to our community. Today, they face a different fight—battling cancer with the same strength and grace they’ve always shown.
This year at the Master Pioneer Award, we’re not just honoring them—we’re standing with them.
Together, we can lift them as they’ve lifted so many.
Three Legends. One Fight. Let’s walk with them.
🎗️ This is legacy in action.
🌿 This is community showing up.
🙏🏽 This is love, returned.
📅 Join us on Sunday, September 28th at The Kumble Theater, Long Island University - Downtown Brooklyn NY.
