00:00What's up guys, it's Adia Hannes with Ebony, and we're here at Preakness 147, and we're
00:07so excited to give you guys a glimpse behind the race.
00:12Preakness gives us in the city of Baltimore a chance to really showcase all that Baltimore
00:16has to offer.
00:17Great food, fashion, watch the racing, have some champagne, have a cocktail, have a beer,
00:23and just have fun.
00:24And make some money.
00:25And make some money.
00:26I want to listen, I want to learn, I want to lead, and I want to love.
00:29And what better place to celebrate love and life than in Baltimore?
00:37Ebony is all about moving black forward.
00:38What does that mean for the community?
00:40It means that African American people have a seat at every table.
00:43Moving our mindset forward to the things that we don't think that we can do.
00:48For this venue to be as close to Park Heights as it is, I think that our people need to
00:53be able to come out and support.
00:55We have a responsibility to give back, to give people opportunities, and not just let
01:00them be a product of their environment, but become a product of their experiences.
01:03We're going to knock down those doors, we're going to kick those ceilings out, and we're
01:07going to make it happen.
01:08So with the success of Preakness Live, I mean that was amazing, we had Lauren Hill,
01:26Meg Thee Stallion, what was it like to put that powerhouse lineup together?
01:31We all friends and family.
01:32I've known Lauren for 30 years, I've known Megan for the last 15 years, it's a blessing
01:36that I had the opportunity to work with all of them, and having them come to Baltimore
01:40and bless us with their appearance, God is good.
