URBAN LEAGUE AWARDS DINNER PAYS HOMAGE TO YOLANDA ADAMS

Grammy winning gospel artist Yolanda Adams is honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis President and CEO Michael McMillan at the Urban League’s Salute to Women in Leadership Gala Friday night at The Grand Marriott.

Long before “Black Girl Magic” became a hashtag or the inception of Black Girls Rock, Michael McMillan was honoring women who make a difference in their respective walks with his annual Salute to Women in Leadership Awards.

And when he took helm of The Urban League as President and CEO, he brought the awards ceremony with him.

“Mr. Michael, you are a shining example of what God does when you say yes,” said Grammy winning gospel singer and nationally syndicated radio personality Yolanda Adams as she accepted her Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2017 Urban League and Urban League Guild of Metropolitan St. Louis Salute to Women in Leadership Gala.
