The Avenue Report, a lifestyle magazine for black men, celebrates its one year anniversary in the District this Saturday (4.12.08) at the National Music Center (801 K Street NW). Founded in 1998 by another fab chick, Toyin Awesu, the Avenue Report gives a voice to the professional black man from fashion to financial planning.
This Saturday, the event will be co-hosted by BET's Alesha Renee' and guess who will be in the building swooning the crowd? My new crush Ryan Leslie!
Other rumored guests include:
The coverboys Bryan-Michael Cox and Raheem DeVaughn, Jeff Johnson from BET (he's featured in this issue as well) as well as Bad Boy's Cheri Dennis and even Nik from ANTM. And for all you groupies out there...the Baltimore Ravens, Washington Wizards and Redskins will be in the building of course.
Check out behind the scenes pictures of the cover boys from their Avenue Report photo shoot:
