About Katie Geneva Cannon:
Dr. Cannon was born January 3, 1950 in Kannapolis, NC. She was a Christian theologian and ethicist and the first African American woman ordained in the United Presbyterian Church (USA). She was also a founding director of The Daughters of the African Atlantic Fund giving her time, many talents and resources.

The Daughters attended the Food Systems Forum and Brunch hosted by Bread for the World and Ebenezer Baptist in Atlanta, GA, on February 20, 2023. The forum seeks to build a healthy, equitable, and sustainable food system via the Farm Bill. Our own Rev. Dr. Angelique Walker Smith presided over the event and Dr. Sharon Watson Fluker provided the vote of thanks. Dr. Sindle Dlamini Mathebula was present and part of a round table discussion offering organizational support to the cause to pursue a world without hunger.
