Rooted in Legacy | Designed for Connection

Guests will be welcomed with a tea bar by RootedVines, featuring the custom JunneBug Tea, alongside music curated by a DJ to set the atmosphere for celebration and togetherness. Throughout the day, attendees will experience spoken word, an African dance performance, and a powerful Legacy Panel featuring women shaped by WAGOH, followed by a keynote presentation offering a heartfelt WAGOH-style experience reminiscent of the early days. A hot lunch buffet and dessert bar will be provided, creating space for fellowship, reflect, and reconnect in a way that feels familiar, joyful, and deeply meaningful.
