Bevy Smith will be hosting the Big Night gala in Dallas this weekend to honor community leaders.
Dallas will award its very best this weekend with the Big Night gala in Deep Ellum.Big news, Dallas: This Saturday, March 4, Big Thought will host its annual Big Night gala at The Factory in Deep Ellum.
“To be a mentor, for me, is really the ultimate give back,” says Smith. “I was very fortunate from the time I was around 18 years old to have a really amazing group of mentors. And those mentors I had when I was very young. The lessons that they taught me and the opportunities that were afforded me to came to me because I was their mentee. I'm still learning and I'm still growing because of those lessons and those opportunities.
DeMarcus Larence first got involved with Big Thought last year, after meeting one of the leaders at a football game. He was then presented the opportunity to read to some of the kids who have gone through the organization. Throughout Big Night, several local creative contributors will be honored with awards. Oak Cliff’s Aria Jones will receive the Mitch Jericho Visionary Voice Award for her work as Big Thought’s site guide for the Community Action Team. The award honors a young person who has created their own pathway to success and made a positive impact within the community.
