Nspired Image Awards Association founded by Russell M. Tyson, a locally known playwright from Atlanta, Georgia. A former director, producer, actor, dancer, model and much more. He is no stranger to the industry. From the community level to the main stage. He founded this awards with the hopes to change the mindset of African American Artists and Business Owners. As he observed that we are entertaining but losing our values. Therefore, he founded the Nspired Image Awards to encourage, expose, and educate our community on being artists and setting a standard in positive representation of our community. As we all feel we are doing what we do, we also reflect each other. Also, within the association, we commemorate our community by celebrating the history of our culture as we have endured and continuing to endure the obstacles of being black while living a dream.

OUR MISSION
STATEMENT
Our goal is to come together and celebrate the incredible resilience of our Black and Brown ancestors during the Juneteenth era. We gather to commemorate this significant time with our Western Brothers & Sisters to draw inspiration from their journey. Celebrating "freedom" together, just as they did by dressing up and gathering at the lake. Today, we pay tribute to those who are making a positive impact through entertainment, business, and education.
The Nspired Image Awards Association (NIAA) program was established on February 6, 2023, with the aim of recognizing and awarding outstanding Black & Brown individuals in the fields of entertainment, business, and education. Our awards ceremony takes place during the Juneteenth Weekend, and we strive to encourage, expose, and educate our audience with a structural, elegant and award-winning experience. As our Western Ancestors never experience.

We are proud to grant our award winners the recognition they deserve and invite all interested individuals to join our platform to showcase their quality, talent, and humanity. Categories are often changed or found to be more challenging.
