ATLANTA — Collegiate-level sections of the National Council of Negro Women, Inc. participated in a statewide pajama fellowship April 22 at Georgia State University. The event was touted as an opportunity for collegiate sections of NCNW to network and brainstorm ideas on how to connect throughout the state.

Spearheaded by DeMicha Luster from Atlanta, the pajama event also gave the collegiates an opportunity to meet the National Vice Chair of NCNW Young Adults and Collegiates and Interim State of Georgia President Sharah Denton to ask questions and get insight on the direction of the state and the future of the council.

Section members from Valdosta State University, Kennessaw State University (soon to be chartered), Georgia State University, Georgia Southern University and University of West Georgia were in attendance.

Organizers said the event would not have been possible without the support of the Rockdale-Newton, Valdosta and Dekalb Community- based sections, and sponsors: CURLS, Chloe, Just Add Honey Tea Company, Ann Thompson (of Greater Atlanta NCNW Hospitality committee), Theresia Carrington-Sims (of Greater Atlanta NCNW), Derrica Williams (of Dekalb NCNW) and Delante Armani (of Delante Armani Photography).

Collegiate Sections throughout the state of Georgia said they have have “a goal of connecting and building their sisterhood by sharing ideas and continuing the legacy of the late Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune and Dr. Dororthy Irene Height,” a press released stated.
