<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hosting the ‘<em>Soul Train Awards’</em> is a dream come true. I grew up watching <em>Soul Train</em> and ‘til this day, I’ve never met a Soul Train Line I didn’t bless with my skilled two-step. It is truly a privilege to be given this opportunity to celebrate Don Cornelius’ legacy, all of the amazing Black talent that illuminated our screens on the iconic TV show, and my favorite genres of music: Soul, R&;B, and Hip Hop.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
