Today on All Of It: @tmbg celebrates 40 years as a band 🎶! We also talk to drag extraordinaire @JinkxMonsoon 🧙‍♀️about her latest tour, @blacklionking73 about his new crime novel. Plus, a goodbye to @ApolloTheater 's @jonelleprocope. All happening @ noon @WNYC!

Thank you to all of the audiences, partners, and artists who made my final season as The @ApolloTheater's President such a memorable one!

I am so touched by all of the buzz and kind words about the #ApolloSpringBenefit! As our beloved institution grows to become the largest African American performing arts center in the nation, it feels like the dream of my tenure has come true.

Diddy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were among those honored at the theater’s annual fundraiser. trib.al/5LUxqEQ

The iconic Apollo Theater is going through some major changes this year! Along with a name change (😱), you now have the opportunity to own a branded seat in the Harlem, NY, renovated space. Learn more on EBONY. #EBONYMag ebony.com/apollo-theater…

About a week ago 🤩 We could tell you that the #ApolloSpringBenefit is the best party in the city…but we’d rather show you!! Shoutout to our #ApolloFam who left it ALL on the dance floor! 📸: @ShaharAzran, @FloNgala, Navigo Productions

Luminaries packed the world-famous Apollo Theater for its annual Spring Benefit, honoring Sean “Diddy” Combs. #ESSENCE ow.ly/zNXC50OPFhL

And still, we rise.✊🏾❤️ Even when each day brings a new headline, a new inequality, a new obstacle in the way - we ALWAYS find a way to continue moving forward. Today and every day, we salute those who are holding America to its promise of true freedom! Happy Juneteenth y’all.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to lead the @apollotheater through 2 decades of outstanding performances, transformative educational programs, and civic advocacy. Today, I am excited to welcome Michelle Ebanks as The Apollo’s next President & CEO! nyti.ms/3Nhnpfn

How do I describe what the past 20 years have meant to me? I step down as Pres & CEO of The Apollo in about a month, and I'm so overwhelmed with gratitude for the brilliant artists, philanthropists & arts administrators I have had the incredible privilege of working alongside!

There’s NOTHING like a mother’s love! Showering all the mothers and mother figures around the world - those living and those who have passed - with our love, our appreciation and our respect! 📸 Gratitude to The Apollo staff for submitting these touching personal momentos!!

Monday, June 12 we’re thrilled to celebrate #TheNextMovement at the #ApolloSpringBenefit, our largest annual fundraising event! We'll be joined by Sean “Diddy” Combs,  Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, D-Nice, MC Lyte, Wyclef Jean, and more! bit.ly/Apollo-Benefit…

From production, to lighting and sound, to marketing, programming, and security, these are just a few of the dynamic women who are leading #TheApollo into a new era. I’m so proud to salute you this #WomensHistoryMonth, and to serve alongside you all year long!

The Procope Theater - I’m still in disbelief! My team surprised me w/ the news that when The Apollo’s Victoria Theater opens, one of the building’s 2 theaters will be named after me! To be a part of the legacy in this way is one of the most meaningful honors I've ever received.

Happy birthday to #ApolloLegend @ChakaKhan! It was an honor to be able to give you your flowers as part of @apollotheater’s Walk of Fame. As an entertainer, you’re truly one-of-one. The Apollo family is so grateful to have welcomed you on our stage so many times over the years!

From curating talent, to running lights and sound, to executive leadership, to ensuring the safety and security of our audiences - this #WomensHistoryMonth we’re lifting up the amazing women who work behind the curtain at our iconic theater to Apollo magic every single day!

From Aretha Franklin to Chaka Khan to Michael Jackson, so many of the biggest stars to perform at The Apollo have one very special collaborator in common. Join us in wishing a happy 90th birthday to a true #ApolloLegend and an absolute arbiter of the culture: @QuincyDJones!
