Finally, the indie eyewear manufacturer Warby Parker will be presented with the Outstanding Leadership in Innovation, Diversity, and Global Community award.

Although Diddy has undoubtedly earned numerous awards and recognition, he also makes sure to celebrate others.
In an Instagram video posted earlier this month, DJ Khaled displayed his impressive new golf cart received from Diddy.
“Thank you @diddy love brother beautiful gift!!!!!!!” he wrote in the caption. “Grateful ! #LetsGoGolfing.”
Diddy wrote a separate post in which he commended Khaled’s golf skills and provided an explanation for his gift. He expressed his admiration for Khaled’s dedication to the sport, stating “I’m so proud of my brother @DJKhaled for all the work he’s putting in on the golf course.”
Additionally, he mentioned that he wanted to give Khaled a special present, saying “Enjoy my gift to you! I had to find the most stylish golf cart possible for my brother! This is not an ordinary golf cart!”
