Milwaukee Alumnae Chapter had the distinct pleasure of hosting the
10th Anniversary of Delta Authors on Tour ~ Midwest Region.
The event, Beyond Boundaries: Black Women's Voices Unleashed, was held on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at St. Ann Center for Intergenerational Care. On Saturday, April 26, 2025, we attended the DMEF 47th Literary Luncheon. From there, we kicked things off at Dandy’s with an Author’s’ Reception, allowing those in attendance to become acquainted with the authors.
The genre selected was non-fiction and children’s books, all written by African American women. Did I happen to mention that they’re all Deltas! The community participated, and Deltas participated in significant numbers. What a successful event, as all authors SOLD OUT of their featured books. To learn more about the authors, check out Volume 10 of the Delta Authors Directory 2024 - 2025 and the featured book(s).
National and Regional members Canara Price and Labrisha Mason of the National Arts and Letters Commission were in attendance. Midwest Regional Director Brittani Blackwell and Midwest Regional Representative Ryleigh Clayborn also joined us for a delightful afternoon! A huge thank you to Soror Janet Lucas and Soror Anita Sparks, who led the charge in seeing this event come to fruition. Thanks also to committee members, Milwaukee Alumnae Chapter members, and the collegiate chapter members who also assisted in the success of the event!

Milwaukee Alumnae Chapter, Physical and Mental Health Committee continued its rich tradition,
Intergenerational Women’s Day at Epikos Church on Saturday, 03/29/2025.
This year’s theme was “Working on Wellness: Women & Girls Mental Health Empowerment.” The keynote speaker was our very own soror and clinical psychologist, Dr. Angelique W. Lewis. The community expressed a preference for a full-day event, which we honored. There were workshops, medical screenings, memory testing, a food demonstration, paint and sip, and back by proper demand, Laughing Yoga. Breakfast and lunch were catered, Delectables by Donna. 80-plus women were in attendance.
We, of course, didn’t forget service, hygiene, and grooming products were collected. Meals were also provided to Safe Streets. Many thanks to Pastor Anthony Caples and wife/soror Linda Caples for their hospitality and partnership! We ended the day with line dancing, which was enjoyed by both the community and sorors. Thanks to the community for their continued engagement and support!
