About this Event
Blackberry Educator Jam: Soft Life Holiday Social
A Celebration of Connection, Community & Joy
Because sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is simply gather, celebrate, and enjoy one another.
We're closing out 2026 with a little softness, a little joy, and a whole lot of community!
Join the Blackberry Educator Empowerment Initiative, in collaboration with Aromas Tea Bar, for our December Blackberry Jam: Soft Life Holiday Social. An evening designed to celebrate the people who spend so much of their lives pouring into others.
This is an invitation to slow down, unwind, and simply enjoy being in community.
Whether you're an educator, school leader, advocate, community partner, or friend of the Blackberry Educator Ecosystem, this evening is for you.
What to Expect
- Sip & Socialize: Enjoy a welcoming atmosphere, delicious mocktails, and meaningful connections.
- Soft Life Energy: An intentional evening of relaxation, laughter, and celebration.
- Community Connections: Meet educators, leaders, creatives, and changemakers from across Atlanta.
- Holiday Giving: Support fellow educators through our clothing donation initiative benefiting The Teacher's Closet.
- Special Surprises: We're keeping a few things under wraps to make the evening extra memorable!
Give a Little. Gain a Chance to Win!
This season, we're making space to give back to the educator community.
Bring gently used, clean, professional clothing to donate to The Teacher's Closet, an organization supporting educators through access to clothing and resources.
Each attendee who contributes an eligible clothing donation will receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a special prize!
