National Alumnae Association of Spelman College: Columbia Chapter

The 2nd Annual Mother-Daughter Tea was nothing short of magical! The planning committee set the bar high. With an inspiring spirit and a touch of Caribbean flair, our beautiful girls showed up in their Sunday best, radiating grace and joy. From the vibrant, creative paint session led by our very own to the delicious bites that brought everything together—every detail made this day unforgettable.

Here’s to celebrating the bond, the beauty, and the brilliance of mothers and daughters. Until next year!
