The Legacy House

Presented by Geaux Girl Giving

Meet the Honorees of The Legacy House ✨

This Friday, we invite you to experience The Legacy House, an immersive portrait gallery and storytelling experience celebrating the extraordinary Black women whose leadership, generosity, courage, and service continue to shape our communities.

From visionary philanthropists and civil rights advocates to educators, entrepreneurs, artists, organizers, and beloved community matriarchs, each honoree represents a legacy that deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.

Their stories remind us that legacy is not only found in titles or accomplishments. It is found in the lives we touch, the communities we strengthen, and the generations we inspire.

Join us as we honor these remarkable women and celebrate the enduring power of Black women’s leadership, philanthropy, and collective impact.
