According to an official invitation received from Dr. Stephanie Keys, Founder and CEO of Extraordinary Global Leaders<\/strong>, the couple has been selected to be honored during an international gathering presented by the United Nations Extraordinary Global Peace Council in collaboration with Extraordinary Global Leaders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The recognition represents another milestone for a couple whose public message centers on what they describe through three foundational pillars: Faith, Family, and Finance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beauty and the Beard: Purpose as a Partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Lance and Dr. Juliet have positioned \u201cBeauty and the Beard\u201d around the idea that a strong partnership can extend beyond a relationship and become a vehicle for leadership, service, economic empowerment, and generational impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their respective messages complement one another. Dr. Juliet\u2019s platform emphasizes healing, leadership, vision, and action, while Dr. Lance\u2019s work focuses heavily on economic development, financial empowerment, strategic partnerships, and creating opportunities for communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, their philosophy connects faith as the foundation, family as the source of strength, and finance as a strategy for greater freedom and impact.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Their upcoming recognition places that philosophy on an international stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n United Nations Global Excellence Awards 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The international experience begins on September 10<\/strong> with a Welcome Dinner and International Networking Reception before the main awards program takes place on September 11, 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The organizers describe the gathering as a celebration of excellence, leadership, innovation, humanitarian service, and global collaboration<\/strong>, with an overarching mission of advancing peace through dialogue, diplomacy, art, and culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Programming announced for the experience includes the United Nations Global Assembly on Peace Promotion<\/strong>, the Global Excellence Awards ceremony, ambassador credential presentations, international keynote speakers, and networking opportunities bringing together leaders from different parts of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the invitation, participation is intentionally limited, with an international selection process designed to convene entrepreneurs, executives, visionaries, diplomats, and humanitarian leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For Dr. Lance and Dr. Juliet, being selected together is particularly significant because their work has increasingly emphasized the power of partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Lance: Economics With Purpose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Lance has built much of his public work around economic empowerment and community development, connecting financial strategy with a broader mission of creating sustainable opportunities and generational impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Chairman of The Black Agenda<\/strong>, his work has included initiatives focused on entrepreneurship, access to capital, wealth creation, strategic partnerships, faith-based economic development, and the advancement of Black businesses and communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n His approach challenges people to see financial empowerment not simply as personal accumulation, but as a mechanism through which families and communities can build lasting institutions and opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within \u201cBeauty and the Beard,\u201d that philosophy is represented by the words \u201cProvider. Protector. Purpose in Power.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Juliet: Healing, Leadership and Vision<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside him, Dr. Juliet brings another dimension to the partnership: a message centered on healing, leadership, personal transformation, and turning vision into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Her role within \u201cBeauty and the Beard\u201d reflects the human side of building legacy\u2014the emotional, spiritual, and relational foundations necessary to sustain success beyond financial accomplishments alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, the couple presents an integrated vision in which strong families, purposeful leadership, faith, personal development, and economic independence are interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Personal Partnership to Global Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The September recognition represents more than another award for the couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It places their message before an international audience at a gathering built around leadership and global impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The theme surrounding their recognition\u2014\u201cElevating Leaders. Impacting Nations. Inspiring Generations.\u201d<\/strong>\u2014closely reflects the direction in which Beauty and the Beard has developed its public identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As Dr. Lance and Dr. Juliet prepare for New York, their recognition demonstrates the growing reach of a partnership built around the belief that success becomes more meaningful when it produces impact beyond oneself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Faith. Family. Finance.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For Beauty and the Beard, those three words are becoming more than a slogan. They represent a framework for the legacy Dr. Lance and Dr. Juliet are seeking to build together\u2014and on September 11, that journey is set to receive international recognition at the United Nations Global Excellence Awards 2026<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" NEW YORK \u2014 Dr. Lance and Dr. Juliet, the power couple known together as \u201cBeauty and the Beard,\u201d are set to receive recognition at the United Nations Global Excellence Awards 2026, scheduled for September 11, 2026, in New York City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7616,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[402],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7615","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/IMG_6990.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7615"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7617,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7615\/revisions\/7617"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/7616"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dizzydiddy.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
