Sunday, September 20, 2026, we gathered at the College Park Woman’s Club for ZAMI NOBLA’s Audre Lorde Scholarship Celebration & Community Awards Luncheon.

After months of planning, it was deeply moving to see so many people we love gathered together to honor our Audre Lorde Scholars and Village Keepers. The afternoon was filled with community, remembrance, music, laughter, and love. Now, we’re sharing some of the moments that made the day so special. As you look through the photos, find yourself, find someone you love, tag your people, and share the memories that speak to you. This is our village, and these are our stories. Stay tuned—more photographs and videos are coming soon! If these images move you, we invite you to help sustain the work behind them. Support ZAMI NOBLA with a donation, become a dues- paying member, volunteer, or share our work with someone who should know about us. www.zaminobla.org Your support helps us continue honoring Black lesbian elders, investing in our scholars, and creating spaces where our community can gather, connect, and thrive. #zaminobla #audrelordescholarshipfund #villagekeepers #blacklesbianelders #communitycare Photos by Eric Kamusau Catering by VanTrece Hospitality Group
