Our first-ever Gift For Mom Giveaway was full of warmth, laughter, and well-deserved flowers for over 100 mothers and mother figures in Rexdale & Mount Olive. It was beautiful to see the joy that comes from being seen and appreciated.

From bouquet pickups to shared hugs, this was about more than flowers. It was about community care in action.

Shoutout to The Pink Petal TO for helping us make it beautiful 🌸

Juneteenth marks the day in 1865 when the last group of enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas were told they were free, over two years after the actual Emancipation Proclamation.

It’s a reminder that freedom was delayed then and in many ways still is.

Happy Juneteenth to us all🖤👏🏿
