Assignment Understood: Positioned for Hope & Purpose! 💗💚 Last weekend, our chapter came together for a weekend of sisterhood, reflection, and renewal!

We began by honoring breast cancer and all cancer survivors during our chapter meeting, recognizing their strength and resilience during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Then our two-day chapter retreat featured empowering workshops, an intergenerational panel, and a Sunday worship experience, which reminded us all to lead with intention, prioritize wellness, advocate for our communities, and serve with purpose.

Special thanks to our workshop presenters:
✨ DeVona Wright Cottrell
✨ Dr. Lia A. Knox
✨ Sister Felita Daniels Ashley
✨ Sister Deborah Lewis

We are grateful to our presenters, panelists, and Lamb of God Missionary Baptist Church for helping make this weekend meaningful.

BOULE RECAP 💗💚 | Until We Meet Again…

As we close the chapter on an unforgettable week at the 72nd Boule, we’re reflecting with grateful hearts on the moments that made this experience so special.

Our final days were filled with meaningful fellowship, engaging plenary sessions, regional connections, and the excitement of celebrating our newly installed International Leadership. From the Closing Extravaganza and Installation Ceremony to the fellowship that continued well into the evening, we were reminded that Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® is strengthened by women who are committed to leading, serving, and lifting one another.

As we traveled home from Las Vegas, we brought back more than memories; we returned inspired by new ideas, renewed in purpose, and energized to continue the work in our chapter and community.

To every sister who represented Epsilon Kappa Omega, thank you for embodying excellence, sisterhood, and service throughout the week. And to everyone who followed along with our Boule journey, thank you for celebrating with us.

Until next time…the work continues, the legacy grows, and together, we will keep soaring.
