Roots, Rhythm, and Recognition: Celebrating Excellence in the Lehigh Valley

The 2025 African American Business Leaders Council Roots and Rhythm Annual Awards Gala was everything our community deserves. A beautiful evening filled with strength, power, and the kind of joy that comes from seeing Black excellence celebrated out loud.

The AABLC honored three remarkable leaders for their outstanding contributions to the Lehigh Valley and beyond: Danielle Adams-Wiltshire, Pastor Dr. Phillip Davis D.MFT, and our founder, Rosalind Lucien.

We are so proud of Rosalind and all that this recognition represents. Not just for her, but for every person she has poured into through The Thrive Hub and her continued work in this community.

To the full list of honorees: your leadership matters, your impact is seen, and this recognition is well deserved.
