Strutting for a Purpose! 💕

As we recognize October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, our St. Louis Chapter members proudly participated in Sista Strut St. Louis, joining thousands in raising awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection, particularly among women of color.

More than a walk, Sista Strut is about awareness, advocacy, celebrating survivors, and honoring those we’ve lost.

🎀 3 Breast Cancer Awareness Reminders:
• Know your normal: be familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel and report changes to your healthcare provider.
• Know your risk: talk with your healthcare provider about your personal and family history and what screening schedule is right for you.
• Stay on top of screening: get recommended mammograms and don’t delay follow-up care.

We’re proud to show up, spread awareness, and make an impact through our continued community outreach efforts. 💕👟

September is for Jack and Jill Day!
As we move into a new month, we want to reflect on the goodness of our Jack and Jill Day! We celebrated family, connection, honored the life and legacy of Carole Robertson and had an afternoon packed with fun games, music, fellowship, good food, and STE[A]M experiments and maker stations.

Our programming year is off to a beautiful start, and we are so grateful for our Chairs Selena Washington and Jen Lanton and their entire committee for creating such a thoughtful and memorable experience for all ages.

We are so proud! Congratulations, Madam National President Deidre S. Lindsey!! 🩷💙

History has a way of calling us forward.

Today, we proudly celebrate the election of Deidre S. Lindsey as the 29th National President of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated.

A proud mother of the Mighty Mid-Western Region, and after faithfully serving our organization as National Treasurer, she now answers an even greater call. To lead a national organization united by one enduring mission: nuturing children, families, and communities for generations to come.

For while history celebrates remarkable leaders, legacy is built when an entire sisterhood, our motherhood moves forward together.

May this new season be marked by courage, humility, wisdom, and grace.

May we honor the foundation laid by those who came before us while embracing the promise of what is still possible when women of vision lock arms in service of something greater than themselves.

Congratulations, Madam National President Deidre S. Lindsey. Thank you for your faithful service, for answering the call once again, and for leading with vision, purpose, and heart.

Together, Mission Possible.
One Purpose. One Future. Our Children.

Long Live Jack & Jill - 💙💕🎉
