'Caramel' is a story that I wrote. It's about two high school friends that grew up together in Jamaica Estates, Queens. They are best friends, and the coolest in school. It's sort of a love story, a throwback to a film called 'American Graffitti'. It's about teenagers and their cars, and their cliques. It's an all around coming of age story.[BLACKFILM.COM]

Keys accepted her award in a red Naeem Khan dress: "For me, I'm just a girl still from Harlem, and here I am. It's a tremendous feeling to do what you love and for people to love what you do. … People are honoring me for doing what my heart tells me to do, (and that is) so fulfilling."

According to AP News, BET Honors recognizes achievements of distinguished African American leaders.

The event is set to air February 22nd at 8 p.m. on BET.
