Meet the Icon. 👑
Raise Your Glass was built on the belief that women deserve to be seen, heard, and celebrated for the impact they create.
For Niketa Chachere, that impact is rooted in ownership, vision, and legacy.
For Niketa Chachere, that impact is rooted in ownership, vision, and legacy.
As the founder of Epochal Cognac, Niketa is building more than a spirits brand she is creating space for culture, creativity, and luxury to exist on her own terms.
Fun fact: She is the first black woman Air Force Veteran to own a cognac brand.
As we honor her as an Icon of the Year, we sat down with Niketa ahead of the event to give you a glimpse into the visionary behind the brand.
Join us March 29 at Raise Your Glass as we continue the conversation and celebrate the women shaping culture and legacy.
If you would like to give Niketa her flowers in real time, visit timesupstartnow.com or the link in bio for tickets.
Only a few tickets remain.
