The Sisters In Bloom Brunch is a one-of-a-kind event taking place on Saturday, May 3rd from 11am-2pm ET at Zinnia restaurant in Silver Spring, MD to honor, love and inspire Black women on an especially challenging journey to motherhood and those in our community who understand what it means to be in any season of waiting.

Together we will gather as women in various seasons of our lives —to remind one another that even in the in-between moments of life we deserve JOY!

There is truly nothing like sharing space with women who get it. It is safe, it is freeing, it is everything.

So whether you consider yourself a Mama In Waiting or just need some inspiration and joy, you are invited to join us for this special gathering featuring bestselling author Morgan Harper Nichols, delicious food, fellowship, healing, hope, sisterhood, reproductive and mental health resources, the launch of our Love Offering Emergency Support Fund, thoughtfully curated gifts, special guests and more!

Early Bird tickets have already SOLD OUT! Remaining seats are limited so don’t wait.

Morgan Harper Nichols

“So cling to joy, audacious, unbridled joy that looks for Light in everything, even in your waiting. Let it be a small, yet rebellious act within the shadows that says, 'perhaps, even here, I can still have joy. I can still have hope for the future!”

FAQ

  • Who is this event for?

Our gatherings are always thoughtfully designed to uplift Black women who have experienced infertility and pregnancy loss, but for this event, we welcome anyone who understands what it means to wait on something with hope (aka all of us.)

  • Are you only a Mama In Waiting if you are currently experiencing these challenges?

    No! Mamas In Waiting are women at all stages of their journey, including: those currently trying to conceive, women who have experienced loss in the past, those who have found alternative paths to parenthood and women still processing their experiences.

  • What should I expect?

    Great food (vegan and vegetarian options available), inspiring speakers, intentional opportunities for connection, access to reproductive and mental health support resources. a confidential, judgment-free space, thoughtful gifts and a whole lot of JOY.

  • What is your ticket and refund policy? 

    Seating is limited and will sell out fast so there will be no sales at the door. We also do not offer cash refunds but we'll make every effort to transfer your ticket to a woman from our wait list if you can't attend.

  • Ok! I'm in! What else do I need to know?

    Once you’ve purchased your ticket, you’re all set. We will send additional details (more program announcements, parking, etc.) to all participants in the weeks leading up to the event. For now, just get excited.

  • I love this idea. How can I help?

    Well, besides buying a ticket, spreading the word or reaching out about sponsorship, you can also donate to our Love Offering Support Fund! We will be launching the fund at the brunch to provide financial resources to women who might need no strings attached material support during unexpected and difficult times on the journey. All donations are tax deductible.

“Every one of our events is designed with intention and care by women who have walked (and for some, are still walking) the path that you are on. This brunch is our way of saying that you are not alone and to fill your cup with love, inspiration and a much deserved afternoon of joy. We hope to see you there.”
