With the current outrage at the lack of diversity of the Oscars, many African-American actors, actresses, and writers are looking forward to a platform in which they will be, always have been, acknowledged for their talents and effort. This award platform is the 47th Annual NAACP Image Awards.
Egypt Sherrod, HGTV host and author, has received an NAACP Image Award nomination for the release of her first book, “Keep Calm…It’s Just Real Estate: Your No Stress Guide To Buying A Home.”
Egypt can be seen every week as host of HGTV’s highly-rated show, “Property Virgins.” Recently, HGTV green-lit her original spin off show “Flipping Virgins.” The show consists of three parts: she helps the investors find a property to flip, she then helps them renovate it – then, they sell it.
Sherrod is also the founder of her own non-profit, the Egypt Cares Family Foundation, whose mission is to enrich the family structure as a whole: At Egypt Cares Family Foundation, Family IS the foundation. A stronger family leads to a stronger village and community for all. On Friday, February 26th, Egypt will serve as honorary host of the annual Chairish the Future gala and auction. All proceeds will benefit The Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta, whose mission is to recycle gently-used household furniture by giving it to individuals and families in the metro area who are moving out of homelessness and fleeing domestic violence as well as countless others facing hardships and struggling to make ends meet.
We wish her the best of luck at the NAACP Image Awards which will air live on TV One, February 5th at 9pm ET.
