Ellington was among eight ladies who were recognised for their contribution towards empowering women, not only in Jamaica, but across the Jamaican Diaspora and in other sections of the world.



In presenting Ellington with her award, President and Chief Executive Officer of ‘It’s just POSH’, Shelly-Ann Richmond spoke to the veteran broadcaster’s influence on the media landscape, especially on television in Jamaica where she professionally carried out her tasks with grace and poise.

Ellington expressed appreciation for the award and pointed out that she was pleased to have had some influence on the society, despite the many distractions that are available.

She also dedicated her award to a number of persons with whom she shared the production and television stages with, back in the 1980s, including Lindy Delapenha, Leonie Forbes and Easton Lee.
