Red Carpet Series had the absolute honor of attending and capturing moments from the Global Affair Benefit Gala, a powerful Pre-GRAMMYs 2026 celebration dedicated to raising funds for criminal justice reform, education, job training, and preventative programming.

A heartfelt thank you to Michael “Harry O” Harris and Carver Tee for having us and for producing such a meaningful and beautifully curated evening. The Global Affair continues to be a space where culture, impact, and excellence meet—and this year was nothing short of extraordinary.
