On February 1, 2025, Women of Color presented its seventh annual Women of Color ROAR Breakfast. The event was titled “Rooted in Resilience” and was held in honor of our very own Kamala Harris, the first African American and Asian American Democratic presidential candidate. Harris was given a tearful, heartfelt tribute by her friend and author Stacy Johnson-Batiste and author Carole Porter.
The luncheon honorees included California State Senator and daughter of the California Secretary State, Dr. Akila Webber; Cheryl Alethia Phelps, Chief Communication Officer of the ACLU/SDC; Jasmine Crockett, Texas Congressmember, and Jotaka Eddy, the founder of Win with Black Women.
Women of Color founder Angela de Joseph and her team, including Tama Becker, worked tirelessly to put on the annual event and have done superior work in the community assembling past events. San Diego’s very own Tammy Blevins and the young Black male group Blue Heart were there, ushering political officials and guests. Attendees enjoyed a superb breakfast of quiche, sweet potatoes, and bacon. As a volunteer, I was so impressed by the guests and their mission of humanity!
