Forgotten Daughters, Inc. Connects with the Community at Milwaukee's Juneteenth Celebration
Forgotten Daughters, Inc. was honored to participate in Milwaukee's Juneteenth Celebration with a community resource booth, where we had the opportunity to connect with hundreds of residents, families, and community leaders throughout the day. Our booth served as a welcoming space to share information about our mission, upcoming programs, volunteer opportunities, and ways the community can support women and girls across Milwaukee.
Our Deputy Executive Director, Aleia Smith, proudly represented Forgotten Daughters throughout the event, greeting visitors, answering questions about our organization, and sharing our vision of empowering women and girls through education, support, and meaningful community connections. We are incredibly grateful for her dedication and commitment to serving our community.
One of the highlights of the day was having the opportunity to meet Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers, who stopped by our booth during the celebration. It was a privilege to introduce him to Forgotten Daughters, share the work we are doing throughout Milwaukee, and discuss our commitment to creating opportunities that help women and girls thrive. We appreciate Governor Evers taking the time to engage with our organization and the many community groups participating in this important celebration.
Events like Juneteenth remind us of the power of community, resilience, and unity. We are thankful to everyone who stopped by our booth, learned more about our programs, spun our prize wheel, signed up to stay connected, or simply shared words of encouragement. Every conversation helps strengthen our mission and expand our impact.
As Forgotten Daughters continues to grow, we remain committed to building meaningful partnerships, creating life-changing programs, and ensuring that every woman and girl knows they are seen, valued, and supported.
Thank you to the Juneteenth organizers, volunteers, community members, and everyone who helped make this celebration such a memorable experience. We look forward to continuing to serve Milwaukee and growing alongside the incredible community that supports our mission.
