The event was part of the African American Book Pavilion and was sponsored by NAPS: North American Precis Syndicate.

“I was so excited for her,” said DC Livers, Managing Editor for the Historical Black Press Foundation.  “Victoria has been writing scripts on the set of Y&R for nearly 15 years, plus she’s an incredible photojournalist and an amazing writer. She deserves to be the first author to be inducted into the Who’s Who in Black Media directory.” 

The directory lists over 450 Black newspapers, magazines and 100 of the most influential African Americans in the media industry. New categories were added to include Black authors, photographers and publicists.
