About This Event

The AAF-Houston is beyond excited to invite you to an extraordinary evening celebrating the vibrant diversity that makes our city so unique. This is not just an event—it’s a powerful movement where we come together to honor the visionary leaders who have tirelessly championed diversity, equity, and inclusion in Houston. These exceptional honorees have been trailblazers in their industries, transforming our community into a more inclusive and welcoming place for everyone.

Don’t miss the chance to be part of this incredible celebration, where we unite to recognize and applaud the inspiring individuals shaping the future of our city. Come, join us, and let’s make this a night to remember!

2024 Night of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Honorees

• Audrey Gilbreath
• Gary Wood
• Joy Sewing
• Sonny Messiah-Jiles

In addition to celebrating the accomplishments of our community leaders, we also aim to shine a spotlight on the incredible talent of local Houston artists from all walks of life. These artists have donated their works for a silent auction, which will be dedicated to a noble cause—the DREAM Scholarship.

This scholarship is aptly named for its mission to foster Diversity, Representation, Equity, and Access for Minorities. This fund will provide invaluable support to aspiring young professionals pursuing higher education, paving the way for the next generation of leaders who will champion and promote the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their respective fields.

This event is an opportunity for us to come together, embrace our differences, and foster a cross-pollination of ideas and perspectives. Join us as we celebrate diversity, honor our remarkable leaders, and support the dreams of our future trailblazers.
