Tamela and David Mann were among the famous people who were in attendance at the annual Urban One honors, which aired exclusively on TV One back in January.
The couple took home the Inspirational Impact Honor and thanked Urban One founder Cathy Hughes for the privilege.
“We didn’t write a speech either, because we honestly didn’t know what to say,” David Mann said during his acceptance speech. “First, giving honor to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ who is the head of our lives, who we live and move through and have our being. It is an honor, thank you Cathy Hughes. We’ve been married for 34, going on 35 years, and this right here is a ride and die.”
Tamela tearfully expressed similar sentiments.
“Giving honor to God. Thank you so much, TV One, Cathy Hughes,” Tamela said while accepting the Inspirational Impact Honor. “Thank you for television and radio. I just so grateful for everyone that’s in this room. I want you know all things are possible if you believe.”
The Manns were among several other “Icons of the Culture” — the theme of this year’s Urban One Honors — to be recognized for their contributions to entertainment.
