The Arise Brunch: A Discussion on Patriarchs & Matriarchs in the Community

The role you play in someone’s life today can have a major impact on them in the future. Who you are to them now is going to matter who they will become tomorrow✨

The Arise Brunch is an open opportunity for all to experience thought leaders and community builders that will explore the vital influence of matriarchs and patriarchs in how they shape , support , and guide our society.

The Arise Brunch is providing exclusive access to a meaningful gathering dedicated to discussing the vital roles of patriarchs, matriarchs, and community leaders in our communities. The keynote speaker, Kimberly Sky Thomas, will provide wisdom on what leading in modern day looks like. In addition, our panelist, Cornell Summrell, Jamaul Ford, Cheryl Wilkerson, & Barbara Bentley , will provide a space for reflection, appreciation, wisdom, and guidance in leadership of families and communities. What they pour will contribute to the legacy of those who have shaped our families and neighborhoods from decade to decade. 

 Join us for this opportunity to celebrate the past, embrace the present, and build for the future!
