“What a night!!! First and foremost, congratulations to Juju Julius House for being honored as one of five recipients of TMOTTGoGo’s honors awards. Thank you SO much to my girl with a beautiful soul, Mai Maiesha Rashad of Maiesha and Hiphuggers for presenting the award to your brother! Love and appreciate you very much “Sister Queen”! Hats off to a wonderful friend Thomas Sayers Ellis (TSE), another one who’s fine, and in many cases “FREE” photography work has finally received its accolades, and to all the other recipients (Sweet Cherie, “D Floyd”, “Funky Ned”, and Jason Lewis), congratulations!!! Each one was well deserved! I also wanted to give a big “high five” to Bobbie Westmoreland for giving a fine acceptance speech on behalf of TSE. That was very admirable and well done, Bobbie!!! And last but certainly not least, a BIG shout out and special THANKS to Kato Hammond, Preston Blue, and all others who worked tirelessly to make this night a grand night. It was such a wonderful program – a program to highlight the works and accomplishments of our local musicians/artists that went beyond the local spectrum to display their craft nationally and internationally. I must say – it’s even more impressive for me because I know that Kato and the others did A LOT of work in a very short period of time and honestly, did an outstanding job! Very well done and a tremendously unselfish act. Kudos to a grand night! P.S. – the musical performances were GREAT!” – Adrienne Burkley
“Thank you, Lord!” – Kato Hammond
