Step into a rich tapestry of culture, community, and conversation at the African Tea Gala, hosted by the Western Massachusetts Chapter of Jack and Jill of America, Inc. On May 3rd, we invite you to an afternoon steeped in elegance and purpose, where the soothing ritual of tea meets the powerful legacy of Black women’s health and healing.

Our featured guest, Dr. Stephanie Y. Evans, author of Africana Tea: A Global History of Tea and Black Women’s Health, will guide us through a journey that connects continents, traditions, and generations. Come adorned in your finest African garment or celebratory attire, and enjoy a curated tasting of African teas, delicious bites, and soul-stirring dialogue—all in support of cultivating wellness and empowerment in our local community.

This is more than a fundraiser—it’s a tribute to resilience, ritual, and the restorative power of gathering.
