Under the banner of this year’s theme, “Reclaiming Our Power of Sisterhood as Medicine,” we invite you to join us in honoring local women food leaders with our esteemed Food Shero Awards. Moreover, we’re embarking on a journey to capture the essence of our culinary heritage by collecting recipes and food memories for our Sisterhood Community Cookbook, which serves as a testament to how food has been our ally in restoring health and resisting adversity, especially during the pandemic.

What can you expect at the event? A vibrant atmosphere filled with music courtesy of our talented DJ, catered food that celebrates our culture, heartwarming community food storytelling sessions, intimate sisterhood share sessions, thoughtful self-care gifts, enlightening cooking demonstrations, and a heartfelt tribute to our local food sheroes who continue to inspire us with their dedication and passion.

But the Sisterhood Supper isn’t just about revelry; it’s about action. Here’s how you can make a difference: 

 

1) Fund the Food Shero Freedom Fund (iamwanda.org/fund) to support our food justice initiatives.

2) Feed the People (iamwanda.org/sisterhoodsupper) by contributing to the Sisterhood Community Cookbook project.

3) Fuel the Movement for a Food Bill of Rights (iamwanda.org/foodbillofrights) by advocating for equitable access to nutritious food for all.

4) Feel the Power of Sisterhood by joining us at the Sisterhood Supper as we stand together in pursuit of a brighter, more just future.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of something truly special. Mark your calendars and join us as we come together to celebrate, empower, and uplift each other at the Sisterhood Supper.
