BE IN THE ROOM: The Golden Hour with Urban Triage * Madison

The Golden Hour: Reclaiming Our Crown, a Black Brilliance Celebration Sunday, July 19, 2026 | 2:30 – 7:00 PM The Madison Club — Prestigious 3rd Floor Rooftop Experience 5 E. Wilson Street, Madison, WI.

The Golden Hour is also our moment to crown two pillars of Black media who have shown up for this community with courage and conviction. We will be honoring Henry Sanders, founder and publisher of Madison 365 — whose investigative journalists and community-centered platform remind us that truth, told with integrity, is its own form of triage — with the Black Brilliance Golden Hour of Truth Award.

And last but not least, we will be celebrating Bianca Martin of City Cast Madison with the Black Brilliance: Reclaiming Our Voice Award, recognizing her as a Black media icon who has amplified our stories, our power, and our presence in this city.

Now, take a moment and imagine with me, Madison’s most powerful community builders, advocates, and changemakers on a rooftop as the sky turns gold — dressed in their boldest, most unapologetically beautiful summer attire. Celebrating what this community has already built. Calling in what we are still becoming. This is not a charity gala. This is a homecoming. A declaration. A crown ceremony for a community that has earned every jewel.
