WE DID THAT. 💐❤️‍🔥

27 Events. 1,928 Women. One powerful citywide movement of love.

This carousel is our love letter to every sponsor, partner, and planning committee member who showed up and showed OUT for the 2026 Honoring Her: A Celebration of Care & Comfort initiative. None of this happens without YOU.

From the very first bag assembled to the final delivery, every single hand that contributed made it possible to look 1,928 women in the eyes and say: you are seen, you are valued, and you are deeply loved.

Senior mothers. Grandmothers. Shelter residents. Caregivers. Teachers. Community leaders. Women who pour into everyone else every single day without being asked. They deserved to be honored loudly, intentionally, and with excellence, and that is exactly what this community delivered.

And we are not done yet. Our 2nd Annual Honoring Her Resource Fair is coming this Saturday, May 16th at the co-LAB-oratory Training Institute, 640 E. 79th St., Chicago, IL 60619. 🌸
