Raise Your Glass is TimesUP’s annual Women’s History Month experience honoring women who are shaping culture across media and entertainment.

Originally created to intentionally center Black women, the celebration now also recognizes an Ally of the Year — honoring leaders who actively amplify and support women in these spaces.

In partnership with Connect Gallery, Raise Your Glass returns on March 29, 2026 at 12 PM for a day of celebration, community, and networking, with music curated by DJ Creed.
