About Stomp the City Iconic Awards
The Stomp the City Iconic Awards is an annual event in Memphis, Tennessee, born from tragedy and transformed into a celebration of community heroes and a platform for social change. Founded by Michael Dockery and his daughter Tamia, the awards show emerged as a response to the devastating loss of Dockery’s niece, Marisha, to gun violence.
The purpose
