Students of Pinnie's Charm Studio and contestants of the Maryland Talented Teen Competition will celebrate Pinnie L. Ross's 40 years of talent coaching in Maryland at a gathering 1 p.m. Sunday at the Sheraton Columbia Hotel.
Since opening the charm studio in 1968, Ross has mentored more than 600 young women, including actresses Jada Pinkett-Smith, Tanya Blount and Kimberly Ann Brooks, CNN News anchor Suzanne Malveaux and former Maryland deputy attorney general Donna Hill Staton. Two students mentored by Ross in the Talented Teens competition became international winners: Edna Hill-Sallah, Miss Black Teenage America 1973; and Kimberly Ann Brooks, Miss Talented Teen International 1981.
