In celebration of Black History Month in February, the Oakland County Board of Commissioners recognized Camilla Rice, a Troy resident and owner of Green Olive Soaps, along with two other business owners, with an award.
The Black Excellence Awards are awarded to recipients for their notable achievements and the strides they have taken to improve their communities. Public-nominated submissions are reviewed by a panel of commissioners, including Angela Powell (D-Pontiac), Yolanda Smith Charles (D-Southfield) and Linnie Taylor (D-Southfield).
