QORIHC Celebrates 6 Years | Media Launch 2023

The event dubbed “Jamaica’s First Awards Celebration” is an event that recognizes the contributions of trailblazing women in the entertainment scene in Jamaica and it includes all generations. In that regard, Multigenerational was the word used by QORIHC Principal Laurell Nurse as she addressed invited guests at the QORIHC Media Launch to describe the concept of the event.

The open space and perfect ambiance paired with the energy of the guests set the backdrop for the night’s festivities. This year’s launch was hosted by Media Personalities Shannon Dale and Brithney Clarke. The event officially started with the sounds of highly sought-after Jazz Artiste Nina Karle who treated the audience to two songs, one of which was “I Miss You”  her original song.

“I want to thank Laurell and the platform of QORIHC for her foresight and vision to recognise and honour, all the works of females in the creative and entertainment industries. An industry that is predominantly male. It’s really an honour when she decided to honour us women and our sterling contributions to the Entertainment sector. 

Interestingly, this year’s list of honorees is quite extensive; it is a combination of 2022 and 2023 Honorees.
