Collins, via his Jesse Collins Entertainment shingle, will exec produce with Jeannae Rouzan-Clay, JCE’s Vice President of Specials, as part of his first-look production deal with BET Networks.
Created by Beverly Bond in 2006, Black Girls Rock! celebrates African American women who are trailblazers, change makers or dynamos in their respective fields. Past honorees have included Rihanna, Shonda Rhimes, Iyanla Vanzant, Ava DuVernay, Patti LaBelle, Alicia Keys, Amandla Stenberg, Kerry Washington, among others.
