Raven Symone: Black Girls Rock!

Raven Symone signs her name on a guitar as she attends the 2009 Annual Black Girls Rock! Awards held at The New York Times Center in NYC on Saturday evening (October 17).

During the Black Girls Rock! awards Mary J. Blige, Spinderella, Janelle Monae and Anthony Hamilton will be honored.

The event was founded four years ago by hip-hop deejay Beverly Bond to raise money for her nonprofit that mentors young girls of color.
