Our hearts hurt.

That we have to announce our postponement of our Crowning Ceremony, an annual gala and fundraising event. It has been collectively decided that we postpone this amazing event for another time that most properly aligns. 

We are grateful for your trust in our decision and your dedication to our mission.

Our GEMS and DIAMONDS would like to close this year out with a BANG which for us looks like bonding time with one another - the village. 

We have no regrets. 2024 has been a great year to the culture.

We look forward to the upcoming GEM MENTEE Candidate interviews, closing out and to welcome our returning and new GEMS and DIAMONDS for the 2025 programming year. 

We are still accepting donations for future programming. Donate here.

Thank you and look out for an announcement for our new 2025 Crowning Ceremony date.
