EINPresswire.com/ -- GreenLight Women, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering and advocating for women over 40 in entertainment, proudly presents its 3rd Annual Black History Month Champagne Brunch—a prestigious and inspiring gathering honoring two legendary women: Jayne Kennedy and Regina Jones.
Set against the luxurious backdrop of The London West Hollywood, this exclusive event will recognize the remarkable contributions of these trailblazers while raising funds to support victims of the Los Angeles fires. This year’s theme, “Pushing Boundaries Beyond Expectations,” highlights the achievements of women who have redefined norms, broken barriers, and elevated representation in entertainment.
Honoring Trailblazing Icons
GreenLight Women is proud to recognize two pioneering women whose work has reshaped the entertainment industry:
• Jayne Kennedy – Pioneer Award Honoree
A groundbreaking sports broadcaster, actress, and advocate, Jayne Kennedy shattered barriers as one of the first African American women to excel in the male-dominated world of sports media. As a cultural icon, Jayne’s impact extends far beyond the screen, influencing generations through her dedication to diversity and representation. Attendees will have the exclusive opportunity to hear Jayne discuss her extraordinary journey and her highly anticipated memoir, “Plain Jayne: A Memoir”, which offers an intimate look into her legendary career.
• Regina Jones – Trailblazer Award Honoree
As the co-founder and editor-in-chief of SOUL Newspaper, Regina Jones revolutionized cultural journalism, giving a voice to emerging talent in music and entertainment. Her work paved the way for greater diversity in media and remains a cornerstone of Black music history. Guests will enjoy an exclusive preview of “Who In The Hell Is Regina Jones,” the upcoming documentary co-directed by Billy Miossi and Soraya Selene, showcasing Regina’s profound influence on the industry.
These two inspiring women will engage in a powerful discussion about their careers, challenges, and the evolving landscape of inclusion in entertainment.
