Daughters Attending the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Conference February 19-22, 2024

For 21 Years the Proctor Conference has been an instrument of sacred space and a place that inspires, informs, and ignites God’s people of African descent.

This invitation was felt by the Daughters present and has blessed us for the journey to do the Daughters’ work going forward.
