The awards are an offshoot of the organization Black Girls Rock!, created by DJ Beverly Bond to promote positive images of black women. Alicia Keys and Dionne Warwick best  known for singing pop and R&B, but they’ll be honored as black women who “rock” on BET.

Warwick will be honored as a “living legend.” Keys will receive the “rock star” award. “Scandal” actress Kerry Washington will receive the “star power” award. Journalist Susan Taylor and Somali activist Dr. Hawa Abdi will also be honored.
