Celebrating the Black Family Virtual Weekend

MOTHERS & SONS SUMMIT WORLDWIDE

CELEBRATING THE BLACK FAMILY VIRTUAL WEEKEND

Our world has changed a lot and I think we need something fun and refreshing for the entire family. Every family has faced challenges in the past year, but I think Black families have faced additional social, political and mental health issues that have left us exhausted! We are a resilient people though and I believe the challenges of the past year will only make us stronger, wiser and ready for the future.

COVID has forced so many families to disconnect from in person gatherings + with the exhaustion of online learning, virtual gatherings soon became a weary option for staying connected. Staying connected is important though and there are creative ways to stay connected to the family you live with and your extended family network by building new connection bridges that will strengthen your family's roots.

Building Bridges & Strengthening Family Roots Conference, Saturday, March 27, 9am-2pm EST

This conference is the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time with your family members near and far...blood related or not. You'll also get to meet some other cool families as we connect together. We are in this together. As we create a new normal for our families, we are creating new relationships (bridges) that will strengthen the bonds with whoever you call family.

Start the day off with family yoga followed by an engaging series of family workshops. During the lunch break, you can shop with amazing vendors or jam to the tunes played by the DJ. After lunch, you and your family members will put your heads together to build a bridge out of...WAIT! We won't ruin the surprise! LOL! We'll end our time together learning about how we can take care of each other as family.

The day isn't over yet though!

We will host another Cook-A-Long so your family can make a sweet dessert to enjoy together. Shopping List will be included in the Family Fun Box.

After you finish making your sweet treat, you and your family will have just enough time to take a quick nap, practice your moves (if you are a part of the Variety & Talent Show) and gather everyone back together for the Family Variety & Talent Show! Check out details below.

Final itinerary will be emailed to each registered family.
