The Gullah Convening

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the rich culture and heritage of the Gullah Geechee people at The Gullah Convening, a formal dinner and conversation designed to preserve, uplift, and support this vibrant community. Taking place on December 27th from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the elegant Camden Room, located inside the Charleston Visitor Center, this fundraiser promises an immersive experience that will touch the heart and soul.

• Gullah-Inspired Cuisine: Savor a curated menu crafted by renowned Gullah chefs (to be announced soon), each dish telling a story of resilience, history, and the deep connection between food and culture in Gullah Geechee traditions.

• Cultural Conversations: Experience insightful conversations celebrating the resilience of the Gullah Geechee heritage through food, culture, language, land and climate justice, and legacy.

• Trailblazer Awards: A special recognition for the commitment and contributions in preserving and amplifying the voice of Gullah Geechee communities.

• Live Music and Entertainment: Enjoy performances by a live band, bringing Gullah rhythms and sounds to life through music that speaks of joy, struggle, and triumph.

This event is not just a celebration but a call to action. Proceeds from the evening will go toward preservation efforts, cultural programs, and community resilience initiatives within the Gullah Geechee Corridor. Guests will have the unique opportunity to contribute to sustaining a heritage that has shaped the history and identity of the African Diaspora.

Come prepared to connect, engage, and be inspired. Together, we will honor the past, celebrate the present, and build a future where the Gullah Geechee legacy thrives for generations to come.
