Join HERitage Giving Fund for an inspiring and thought-provoking event where we celebrate the strength and resilience of Black mothers and daughters. This in-person gathering will take place on Thursday, August 17, 2023 at 12:30 PM (Central Daylight Time) at Pan-African Connection located at 4466 South Marsalis Avenue, Dallas, TX 75216.
Through open and honest conversations, we aim to mend fences and bridge gaps within our community. This event will provide a safe space for Black mothers and daughters to share their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. We believe that by coming together, we can empower and uplift one another.
Our panel of esteemed speakers, consisting of influential Black mothers and their daughters, from various backgrounds, will lead the discussion. They will cover topics such as motherhood, self-care, navigating societal expectations, and the importance of community support.
Whether you are a Black mother, daughter, an ally, or simply interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the unique experiences faced by Black mothers and daughters, this event is for you. Come prepared to listen, learn, and engage in meaningful conversations.
Spaces are limited, so be sure to reserve your spot today. We look forward to seeing you at Mended Fences: A Candid Discussion on Black Mother-Daughter Relationships!
