Yesterday’s Mother’s Day Brunch was truly unforgettable, and my heart is overflowing with gratitude. To every mother, guest, vendor, author, panelist, volunteer, and BOFM supporter — thank you for being a part of such a beautiful and powerful experience. We truly had a time! God moved in that place. We laughed, we cried, we worshipped, we shopped, and we literally gave everyone their flowers yesterday. What a blessing it was to pour into the women of God and watch every mother walk away touched, encouraged, and blessed.
A very special thank you to my incredible DIVAS Team — Pastor Gre and Chanel. Thank you for hearing the vision God gave me and helping execute it with excellence. Your dedication, commitment, and heart for ministry did not go unnoticed. Thank you for attending every meeting, helping plan, shopping, serving, and most importantly praying. Because of your support and obedience, the vision was fulfilled beautifully. Also thanks to our Praise Team (Sheaya, Dashae Thomas and Deondra Thomas). We cannot forget about our men who helped serve that day Pastor Cal, Deacon Deshawn Hawkins and Ray Raysor.
To our amazing panelists — Apostle Dent, Reverend Jackie, my daughter LaTia, and Sophia — thank you for your transparency, wisdom, strength, and encouragement. Your words blessed the room and ministered to so many women in ways that cannot even fully be expressed.

Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart! Love Pastor Ra’chel
