On Sept 5, The Unlabelled Awards kicked off the 2019 New York Fashion Week with a bang by honoring great leaders behind the scenes. The Unlabelled Awards is an annual event created by Carol Tia Dunkley to unmask individuals who work tirelessly behind the scenes and often go unnoticed. The sixth annual event was curated with an entrepreneurial mindset and honored several deserving influencers, using their mission as a platform for deserving leaders.
The individuals chosen are all well respected in their industries and have shown exceptional influence within their respective fields. Hosted by the hilarious Comedian Chuck Nice, there were many highlights from this year’s ceremony.
