We can't say thank you enough to everyone who supported our 2nd annual Black is Beautiful Gala, and truly made the evening feel like a love letter to the Black community.
In a year marked by so much uncertainty and fear, coming together in a space rooted in joy, unity, and cultural pride felt especially meaningful. The evening reminded us of the power we hold when we gather to celebrate, to honor our legacies, and to nurture a future where Black lives are valued, protected, and able to thrive.
The night was filled with so much joy, from performances by P Money Experience Dancers , and Lunch Break Band, to our magnetic and hilarious host Vivian Storm , and the powerful keynote from . We honored our Black Legacy Awardees, including Isaac “Ike” Jenkins (In Memoriam), Ms. Wendy Sims-Moten, and Ms. Christine Simms. We also celebrated our student youth scholarship recipients and debuted our children’s book We Were Here, We Are Here.
The love in the room was real and overflowing, ya'll! 🙌🏾 😭 🌹 Thank you, thank you, and stay tuned as we share more recaps from this year's Black is Beautiful Gala.
