To close out Women’s History Month, 50 Cent’s premium cognac brand, Branson, partnered with Mira Mediterranean and Hookah Lounge for an intimate, invite-only dinner celebrating the women who continue to shape and influence the entertainment industry.

Both 50 Cent and Mira’s owner Hakki feel that women are not only essential to the industry but the very foundation of its greatness. Without the contributions, leadership, and influence of women across music, media, and business, the culture would not be what it is today. Because of this, the evening was intentionally designed to honor and uplift key female executives and decision-makers who continue to move the industry forward.

The event served as more than a celebration—it was a statement of appreciation and acknowledgment for the women whose impact is often felt behind the scenes but remains critical to the success of artists, brands, and platforms alike.

While 50 Cent was unable to attend, his presence was felt through the purpose-driven vision behind the evening and his continued commitment to building Branson as a platform that champions culture, community, and empowerment.

Curated by Roseay, CEO of The Now PR, and Barry Mullineaux, CEO of Perk Marketing Group, the guest list reflected a powerful cross-section of industry leaders, including senior editors, SVPs of marketing at major record labels, media managers, global brand marketing directors, publicists, and other key decision-makers across entertainment and corporate sectors.

Addressing the room, Roseay shared a message of appreciation:

“Good evening everyone,
Thank you all for being here tonight. In honor of Women’s History Month, tonight is about celebrating each and every one of you—your impact, your work, and everything you represent.

We appreciate you, and we’re glad to have you here. Enjoy the night.”

The evening welcomed a dynamic group of women leaders including Georgette, Editorial & Site Director at XXL; Faith Barrow Hunte, Marketing and Brand Strategy Manager at Paramount+ and BET; Marianna, Global Marketing Director for Communications across major automotive brands including GMC, Chevrolet, and Volkswagen; and Dr. Charlene Thomas, SVP of Marketing at Def Jam, among many other accomplished guests.

The evening began with a cocktail hour featuring specialty drinks by Branson, including “21 Questions,” inspired by 50 Cent’s hit single, alongside an exotic Branson espresso martini—setting the tone for a warm, elevated, and celebratory night.

Guests then transitioned into a family-style dining experience designed to encourage connection and conversation. As attendees broke the ice and networked, they enjoyed a curated menu by Hakki, featuring appetizer selections such as mixed plates, margarita pizza, and crispy chicken. The main course offerings included branzino, braised short ribs, and chicken kababs—bringing a rich and flavorful dining experience to the table.

The night concluded on a high note with dessert, followed by a lively lounge atmosphere where guests continued to celebrate, connect, and enjoy the energy of the evening.

Set within the vibrant ambiance of Mira, the event seamlessly blended luxury, culture, and community—further reinforcing Branson’s commitment to creating meaningful experiences that not only celebrate culture but intentionally recognize the women who help build it.

As Women’s History Month came to a close, the evening stood as a powerful reminder that honoring women in the industry is not just a moment—but a necessity.
