The Black Berry Bunch

This weekend in Charlotte…

On a lovely Saturday morning, we attended the infamous Black Berry Brunch with its galore of summer hats; pastel colored suits and finely dressed escorts. The event was hosted by the Black Women Caucus to discuss the ignored efforts the state has on Education and to celebrate the recognized awardees for their hard work over the past year. There were words of honesty, encouragement and wisdom. There was singing to commemorate those who gave their time to attend the brunch and there was great food to rave the space with elegance and to warm-heartedly allow us to appreciate our stomachs. It was a celebration in which we took advantage of in getting some petitions signed because many and more were happy to abide. It was greatly informative and made us feel inspired to work and refreshed our passion to have our voices listened to.

Mayisa Mesbah and Joyce Lutu
