The Fifth Annual Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards<\/em>, hosted by comedian and actress Tiffany Haddish, graced the International Ballroom at the iconic Beverly Hilton with a wave of energy and inspiration, honoring cultural trailblazers across entertainment, politics, and media. But beyond the red carpet glamour and moving speeches, it was music that proved to be the soul of the evening as it opened with an unforgettable mic<\/em> pass<\/em> featuring Keke Palmer<\/strong>, Yolanda Adams<\/strong>, and vocal coach Stevie Mackey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented by Hollywood Unlocked<\/em>, the media powerhouse founded by Jason Lee<\/strong>, this year\u2019s ceremony honored a powerful slate of changemakers: Don Lemon<\/strong>, Fantasia<\/strong>, Keke Palmer, Lemuel Plummer<\/strong>, Niecy Nash Betts<\/strong>, Vic Mensa<\/strong>, and Warren G<\/strong>. Each honoree was celebrated not only for their professional accomplishments, but for the cultural impact they\u2019ve made through fearlessness, community engagement, and authenticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett<\/strong> honored Don Lemon with the Social Impact Award<\/strong>, while Yolanda Adams presented the Inspiration Award<\/strong> to powerhouse vocalist Fantasia. Keke Palmer received the Spirit Award<\/strong> from Meagan Good<\/strong>, sharing an emotional speech about faith, perseverance, and believing in oneself even during moments of doubt. \u201cEven when you don\u2019t feel ready. Even when the path forward isn\u2019t obvious\u2026 that\u2019s the spirit I\u2019ve leaned on time and time again,\u201d Palmer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
