Jill Scott keeps on winning. The singer-songwriter will be honored by ESSENCE’s Black Women in Music initiative.
“Jill Scott is the quintessential ESSENCE woman. Like many of the female artists who inspired her – she has touched the collective soul of women across generations,” said ESSENCE Editor-in-Chief Vanessa K. DeLuca.
Established in 2010, ESSENCE Black Women in Music continues to herald the accomplishments of both emerging and established artists and influencers during GRAMMY week. Previous celebrants include Grammy-winner Mary J. Blige, Grammy-winner Kelly Rowland, Grammy-nominee Janelle Monae, music industry veteran Sylvia Rhone, and singer/songwriters Solange, Lianne La Havas, and Emeli Sande.
In May, Scott received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from Temple University.
