Veteran fashion entrepreneur, Frederick Anderson, served as master of ceremonies. He praised Voss Foundation for their unwavering dedication to approaching the African culture with pride and truly listening to the needs of African people. Anderson then introduced Mariama Camara, the 1sthonoree of the event and praised her extensive efforts to give back to the women of her birthplace through employment in her company, Mariam Fashion Company and speaking out of behalf of the underserved at the United Nations. Camara graciously accepted the honor and recalled starting co-founding The Is No Limit Foundation with her sister with only $18.
