Who will we see there?

Educate, Entertain, and Get Stuff Done is hosting a unique experience on Tuesday, May 19, at Dry Fly Distillery: a Cultural Immersion Dinner honoring food traditions in the Black community.

This is not simply a meal. It is an experience rooted in heritage, connection, and appreciation for the staples that have given us more than nutrition. They have helped shape memory, identity, and culture.

Tickets are still available. Head over to the page for “Educate, Entertain, and Get Stuff Done” to secure your seat through GiveButter.

This is not a meal. It is a journey.
