Black Xcellence Magazine coupled with the Black Xcellence Awards will acknowledge the achievements and accomplishments of diverse individuals who’ve refused mediocrity and continues to embrace magnificence. Award nominees will be showcased as active leaders dedicating themselves to the commitment of change from ordinary to exDallas Cowboy Stadium, traordinary. DaRobi House intentionally December 16, 2010 @ 7:00pm chose the ‘X’ in excellence to represent the unknown factor of the many unrewarded and unnoticed contributions of those who have actively excelled in excellence in our DFW metropolitan community.
