Her Table is a shared meal that brings women together over good food and meaningful conversation. This special DreamWeek gathering honors the women who sustain our community—teachers, healthcare professionals, social workers, nonprofit staff, counselors, and family caregivers—who pour into others while their own needs often go unseen.

This event celebrates the often-invisible labor of women while recognizing inequity, uncovering hidden community resources and support systems, and helping participants reconnect with their own inner strength and resilience. Guests will leave with practical self-care tools they can immediately implement, knowledge of local resources they can access and share with others, and renewed energy to continue their vital work—because when we care for the caregivers, we strengthen every family, classroom, hospital, and organization they serve.

Dinner, childcare, and all materials provided.

At the intersection of food, racism, culture, and health lies a story that has shaped generations and still shapes our lives today. From food deserts and systemic inequities to the erasure of Black contributions in culinary history, the Black community’s relationship with food is complex, resilient, and deeply revealing.

This candid conversation will bring together a curated panel to unpack the realities behind our plates. Together, we’ll explore how access, tradition, and representation shape what we eat, our health, and how we live—and how we can reclaim the power of our food stories.

Join us as we shine a light on hidden histories and celebrate the creativity, joy, and strength that food holds in Black culture. Whether you are passionate about health, justice, or heritage, this dialogue welcomes you to pull up a chair, listen, and be inspired—At The Table.

This event will commemorate the official opening of Vida and will include a brief program, tours and refreshments.
