SUNSET SOIREE DINNER
The color orange embodies warmth, enthusiasm, and creativity, and so do the Black women who grace our lives. They are the embodiment of royalty, and our Sunset Soirée is the perfect canvas to celebrate their excellence.

Don your finest shades of orange, reflecting the vibrancy and vitality that radiates from within our community. As the sun sets on a day filled with inspiration, we gather for a catered dinner that pays homage to the strength, resilience, and brilliance of Black women.
