Mingle Media TV and Red Carpet Report host Denise Salcedo were invited to come out and cover the Power Up Gala honoring Michelle Obama, Janelle Monae and Eve Branson with a special presentation by Sir Richard Branson at the Beverly Wilshire along with a  special performance by Janelle Monae.

Much to the chagrin of many of the photographers, reporters and even guests walking the red carpet, FLOTUS did not make an appearance at the Power Up Gala, she was an honoree however and she is an awesome example of someone who works tirelessly to empower women.

Honorees: 
Michelle Obama, Janelle Monae, and Eve Branson with presentation by Sir Richard Branson.

Before the gala we caught up with Christina Milian, Dania Ramirez, Danielle Nicolet, Esai Morales, Eva LaRue, Giselle Fernandez, Janelle Monáe, Keesha Sharp, and Leonor Varela. Watch our video interviews below in the embedded playlist.

Sadly, we also didn’t get to speak with Jermaine Jackson, who talked to other press about Janet and her pregnancy and the importance of supporting women. Be we were close enough to snap this photo.
