When is this event? Also, how are you "the public" at this point, anyway? You are as big a star as anyone who is going to be there. I hope Ebony realizes their mistake and fixes this.
After receiving 24k votes and being the #2018EbonyPower100 people’s choice award winner @EBONYMag has told me the Gala is not “open to the public”. Shout out to everyone who voted for me, I was really excited about this, maybe next year I’ll actually make it onto the real list.pic.twitter.com/FLHaCXM7PA

Well now, I hope they realize their error and get you into the event by then. Otherwise, that is not a good look by Ebony Magazine. Congrats, by the by. You are amazing.

@EBONYMag if you don't allow@LittleMissFlint to experience this event, after winning and carrying Flint on her back for years, this will go down as one of the biggest snubs of the year. It's all about empowering the youth to impact the future.pic.twitter.com/3zX2P13EXz -
For some reason I thought
@EBONYMag was about celebrating African American life and culture.@LittleMissFlint deserves to be celebrated and in attendance for your event. She is the people's choice, and the people want her there. -
I'll bet anything,
@MichelleObama and@BarackObama would be disappointed hearing EBONY Magazine made a little girl sad, after she won fairly, gave so much to others, and inspired so many. Especially if they find out it's@LittleMissFlint.#IAmBecoming

Who is the gala for? I’m just asking because I don’t understand. It’s not for the people that won?
-
the other 99 people on the list I'm guessing
-
Your spirit is always great. This makes absolutely no sense. I kept reading thinking maybe I wasn’t getting it. Seems like the gala would be for winners and then others. It’s their loss. Keep on shining!

So you mean you can't go to the gala? Do you still get the award?
-
there is no physical award. No gala for me.

That's crazy!

HEY
@EBONYMag WE DIDN'T VOTE FOR MARI SO YOU COULD SEND HER A TROPHY IN THE MAIL. SHE WORKS HARD AND DESERVES TO BE CELEBRATED AT THE GALA. -
They aren’t even sending her a TROPHY they are just offering to interview her.

So wait... you won the award they are celebrating but you aren't allowed to go to receive it?
@EBONYMag there must be a misunderstanding here. Surely you don't actually want to exclude this very impressive young lady.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

So...what was the point then? To get them clicks and farm people’s info? Not cool. You should absolutely be invited to the gala! I’m so sorry, sweet girl.

That’s absurd!
@EBONYMag, fix this. This young woman should be given the full red-carpet treatment—she works incredibly hard for her community AND goes to school. She earned her place at the gala!!! - 1 more reply
