Before we get into how Tina Knowles Lawson will be recognized with an inspirational award, we must address all this slayage she's been serving up. She is looking extra snatched! She's definitely making 60+ look beyond fab and giving young chicks a run for their money.

Beyonce& Solange’s mom will be honored with the first ever “Inspiring Leadership Award” during the 2016 ESSENCE Festival on Sunday, July 3rd. The presentation will take place on the ESSENCE Empowerment Experience stage during the annual all-star Gospel Tribute at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.

Rap pioneer Missy Elliot will also be honored at the VH1 Hip Hop Honors: All Hail The Queens event, joining honoree Queen Latifah.

We told you this year’s event comes with a twist. After a six-year hiatus, the Hip Hop Honors event will pay homage to the female pioneers, trailblazers and trend-setters who led a movement and infiltrated the ranks of the male-dominated genre to make their voices heard and still do today.

Missy has been slaying the rap game for nearly three decades winning five GRAMMYs as a producer, songwriter, singer and rapper. The VA native has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and helped mold the Hip Hop world. Not only that, all six of Missy’s studio albums have been RIAA platinum certified or better, making her the only female rapper to have achieved this feat. Work!

Be sure to tune in to the VH1 Hip Hop Honors: All Hail The Queens event when it airs live Monday, July 11th at 9pm EST from NYC.
