The Soul Train Music Awards is an annual awards ceremony which celebrates black artists in the entertainment industry.

 

Anathi Bhongo Mnyango - better known as Anatii - has been nominated for the Ashford & Simpson Songwriter's Award, for co-producing the popular song Brown Skin Girl.

The song, which features Beyoncé, Saint Jhn, Wizkid & Blue Ivy, is part of Beyoncé's The Lion King: The Gift album which was released in July this year.

 

It has been described as a love letter to dark-skinned women.

 

It sparked the #BrownSkinGirl challenge, which saw women posting selfies and videos of themselves in celebration of their melanin.
