Apparently due to Queen Latifah’s unavailability, DIFFA Dallas just announced that its gala event, which was to take place at the Winspear on Wed., March 3, has been postponed and will be rescheduled. No word yet on when it will eventually take place, or whether Queen Latifah will still be welcome to host, when it does.
Poor planning and communication of the event is the main reason for its postponement; the rumor is that the ticket sales for the event were dismal; the ticket prices were too high, and there was no true “vision” or “strategy” of what the event format should look like. I don’t anticipate this event will actually take place anytime soon. The DIFFA brand is being quickly eroded by poor leadership.
I concur with David’s comment above. The new format for the DIFFA gala appeared to be a hot mess.
