2025 Night of Diversity, Equity & InclusionHosted by AAF-HoustonOctober 23, 2025 | 6:00 to 9:00 PM | Giant Texas Distillers
Mark your calendar. This is the night where Houston shows up, shows out, and stands united.
The 2025 Night of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion is more than a celebration. It’s a bold, inspiring tribute to the visionaries who are driving meaningful change in our city. These are the leaders breaking down barriers, lifting others as they rise, and building a more inclusive future — not just for some, but for all.
Get ready for a powerful evening filled with storytelling, community, and connection. We’re honoring the trailblazers whose impact reaches beyond their industries and into the hearts of the people they uplift.
This Year’s Honorees
Bold. Brilliant. Unapologetically transformative.
Art With Purpose
Each year, we use this event as a platform to celebrate the vibrant creative talent that thrives in Houston — and to give that creativity purpose beyond the canvas. This year, we are proud to feature the powerful work of local artists in a silent auction that not only showcases the city’s artistic depth, but also supports the future of diverse youth in the arts.
All proceeds from the silent auction will benefit, a nonprofit dedicated to creating safe, empowering spaces where children and teens can explore their potential through music, dance, theatre, and production arts. These funds will help support their mission to transform lives through discipline, creativity, and confidence — offering underserved students the tools and training to succeed on stage and in life.
Each bid placed in the auction is more than a generous act — it’s a commitment to uplifting voices, empowering futures, and investing in the dreams of tomorrow’s trailblazers.
