LABELThe LABEL Gala · Black History Month
A night of essence and ebony.
Once a year, the community puts on its finest. One room, one hundred and twenty seats, and an evening built to honour the leaders, builders and culture-keepers of Black Luxembourg.
The 2025 edition · 25 October 2025
The night we dressed our excellence in gold.
On 25 October 2025, during Black History Month, 120 guests gathered at the Malt Factory in Clausen for A Night of Essence and Ebony — the LABEL Gala's inaugural edition, presented with One People Luxembourg. An evening of candlelight, conversation and recognition, where the community's story was told by the people writing it.
Jana Degrott
A keynote on representation, belonging and what leadership looks like when it carries a community with it.
Dele Sosimi
Afrobeat royalty on stage — a live set that turned a gala dinner into a celebration.
DJ Paul Keranne
The soundtrack of the night, carrying the room from first toast to last dance.
Hembadoon
Voice of Radio ARA's Nubian Lounge, guiding the evening with warmth and wit.
Anatomy of the evening
How the night unfolds.
Champagne & first encounters
Doors open. Cocktails, a golden room, and the rare pleasure of meeting the community at its most elegant.
Seated dinner
A long-table dinner designed for conversation — founders next to artists, students next to executives.
The keynote
One voice, one story, one challenge to the room. In 2025, Jana Degrott set the tone for the year ahead.
The Excellence Awards
The heart of the gala — honouring the leaders, entrepreneurs and culture-makers shaping Black excellence in Luxembourg.
Live performance
The room rises. In 2025, Dele Sosimi's Afrobeat set carried the gala from ceremony into celebration.
The dance floor
DJ at the helm, formalities behind us. The part of the evening nobody photographs and nobody forgets.
The Excellence Awards
Excellence, given its flowers.
Recognition is rare, and overdue more often than not. The Excellence Awards exist to celebrate the people doing the work — visibly and invisibly — across four dimensions of the community's life.
Leadership
For those who open doors and hold them open — in boardrooms, institutions and grassroots movements alike.
Entrepreneurship
For the founders and builders turning ideas into businesses, jobs and economic power for the community.
Culture
For the artists, storytellers and creators keeping heritage alive and pushing it forward in Luxembourg.
Community impact
For the quiet engines — the mentors, organisers and volunteers whose work lifts everyone around them.
