Other winners included Walter Mosely’s “The Awkward Black Man,” (outstanding fiction literary work), “John Lewis: Good Trouble” for outstanding documentary, and Jacqueline Woodson’s “Before the Ever After” as this year’s outstanding literary work for teens.
Coming up on the 27th will be the announcement for this year’s Outstanding Social Media Personalities (nominees include Tiffany Aliche, Desi Banks, Tabitha Brown, Kevin Fredericks, and Karlton Humes), Entertainer of the Year (D-Nice, Regina King, Viola Davis, Trevor Noah, and Tyler Perry), and more.
