Our Voice Nuestra Voz

Congratulations to the 2026 Remembering Our Roots Fellowship Families!!!!

We are honored to announce the families selected for this year’s Remembering Our Roots Family Reunion Fellowship.

This fellowship was created to help Black New Orleans families reconnect with their histories, celebrate their legacies, and strengthen the bonds that carry us forward. The response was overwhelming, and we were deeply moved by the stories, traditions, and dreams shared through the application process.

To the families selected: congratulations! We look forward to supporting your journey as you plan meaningful family reunions, preserve family stories, and create memories that will be passed down for generations.

To everyone who applied: thank you for trusting us with your stories. The strength, resilience, and love reflected in every application reminded us why this work matters. While we could not select every family this round, we hope to stay connected and continue building opportunities for families in the future.

The work of remembering is the work of honoring those who came before us while investing in those who will come after us. ❤️
