The term “diva” to describe a woman with a powerfully effective light and presence is often overused and misused. Sometimes the term diva has a negative connotation earned by the bad behavior of the person. I won’t use “diva” to describe one of the honorees of Friday’s Indiana Black Expo Corporate Luncheon–a highly anticipated signature event of Summer Celebration. I’ll just say, Diahann Carroll is a legendary trailblazer and gifted entertainer beyond measure. IBE will honor Ms. Carroll at the luncheon bestowing her with a “Living Legend Award.”
The IBE Corporate Luncheon will be held in Halls J & K of the Indiana Convention Center in Downtown Indy, with doors opening at 10:30 a.m. and the event beginning at 11 a.m. Among the other honorees today are actor Louis Gossett Junior, entertainment executive Tracey Edmonds and corporate pharmacy giant CVS/Caremark.
Ms. Carroll recently celebrated a birthday on July 17. Our own HelloBeautiful.com paid tribute. Admittedly, some characters that the celebrated actress, entertainer and author has portrayed over a career that spans more than six decades, can be described as diva-ish.
