After a few years of maintain
ing an agency business,
Mannion wanted to do more
for her clients.
She visualized a gala
event where the local black
business community could
come together in a grand fash
ion to network, connect, and
celebrate their accomplish
ments and achievements.
Being the trailblazer that
she is, she went where there
was no path and left a trail.
She created The Spirit of
Excellence Black Business
Awards, a event that is in a
class by itself.
“The Spirit of
Excellence has been a bless
ing to the African American
community,” Mannion said.
“There are no other awards
that acknowledge the hard
work of those in the african-
american community”.
She continues to work
hard at coordinating and pro
ducing an event that Charlie
Brown of Good Service LLC
has dubbed, “The Academy
Awards of Savannah.”
Some of the proceeds
from this year's event will
benefit the EOA Emergency
Assistance Program.
