“I created this platform to be able to celebrate peer-to-peer how amazing we’re all doing on our journeys—the ups and downs, the uncertainties,” says Candis Grace, founder of  Toast to Black Hollywood. “But with each other’s applause, I believe we can continue to shift the culture.”

“Toast To Black Hollywood,” formally known as “Toast to Young Hollywood,” transformed its name in 2020 in honor of the civil unrest in the world and wanted to show how brilliant and resilient that Black Hollywood is.  This event celebrates creative revolutionaries shifting culture through artistry and activism. Over the past decade, the event has honored trailblazers like SuperStar and Philanthropist Lauren London, Television television icon, and Music Mogul Mona Scott-Young, Televison Icon Nick Cannon, Former Mayor of Compton Aja Brown, Television Icon Kevin Frazier, Business Mogul/Host of SharkTank Daymond John, NBA All-Star Superstar Baron Davis, Actor Keith Powers , Radio Personality Legend Big Boy in the Morning, and so many more.

The landmark evening will feature a red carpet arrival, special performances, tributes, and experiences celebrating Black culture.
