Mama's Day Dinner
Black Mama's Are Trailblazers
SBJN hosted its annual Mama's Day Dinner, an extension of the National Mama's Day Celebration created by Forward Together. This year's dinner offered a festive gathering at Little Haiti Cultural Center where families convened on Friday May 10th to offer tribute to the cornerstones of the community; our mothers.
