Trevor Noah bags 2 NAACP Image Awards

New York based local comedian Trevor Noah won two awards at the 48th annual NAACP Image Awards this past Friday.


Noah won in the categories for Debut Author and Outstanding Literary Work for his book Born A Crime. Things are really looking great for Trevor and we couldn’t be more proud. This comes after Noah received the Zora Neale Houston Award for 2017 for his book two weeks ago.

“About last night- Such an honour to receive 2 NAACP Image Awards for my book “Born A Crime”. When I wrote the book my only hope was that people would read it. Everything that has happened since is a giant blessing I never dreamed of. “Trevor wrote on his Instagram after the ceremony.

She totally owned the show, claiming honours in the categories for the outstanding female artist, outstanding song for Freedom, and outstanding music video for her visuals for Formation and outstanding album for Lemonade.
