A huge thank you to Tameka Gaines Holly for inviting her AKA sisters to Saint Paul's Missionary Baptist Church for a celebration of our Founder's Day. 

Bishop John Guns and his wife Pastor Sonjanique Guns, who is an AKA, posted us celebrating 115 years of service from Alpha Kappa, Alpha Sorority Incorporated.
 

Led by Ethel Hedgemon (Lyle), in 1908, nine junior and senior Howard University students  came together to form Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.   They were the scholastic leaders of their classes. Each also had a special talent or gift that further enhanced the potential of this dynamic group.

The nine founders were Anna Easter Brown, Beulah Burke, Lillie Burke, Marjorie Hill, Margaret Flagg Holmes, Ethel Hedgemon (Lyle), Lavinia Norman, Lucy Diggs Slowe and Marie Woolfolk (Taylor).
I am proud to celebrate 38 years as a member of this esteemed group of women whose membership includes leaders including our current Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.
