46th National Convention Recap - Jack and Jill of America, Inc. had a wonderful time of relaxation and pampering in the Pink and Blue Beauty Lounge🩷💙, featured as a part of our 46th National Convention at the Minneapolis Hilton/Convention Center. In between the business & busyness of Jack and Jill with all of our activities, this was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge🙏🏿. Thanks to presenting sponsor Unilever for their overwhelming support and all of the participants for making this experience special and informative for our families. And thank you for the generous product donations from Uncle Funky’s Daughter, JCPenney, and Fashion Fair Cosmetics. 📸 LeVern A. Danley III #spon #jjoa46nc #jjoanc2024 #jjoamasterpiece #jackandjillinc

More great times from our 46th National Convention Jacqueline Moore Bowles Teen Leadership Summit! It was a mix of work and play for our teens as they learned from various business professionals + art + tennis fundamentals! The best part is that we had 21st National President Jacqueline Moore Bowles there herself - the teen summit visionary - to bring greetings and inspire our teens! She hails from the Mighty Mid-Western Region - our 46th National Convention host region and always represents the “pink and blue” well! 27th National President Kornisha McGill Brown was also honored at the summit for her service, as well as Immediate Past National Program Director Marvis Donalson. Thanks again to our sponsors! (Check our previous post to see them all listed) ⬇️. 📸 LeVern A. Danley III #jjoa46nc #jjoanc2024 #jjoamasterpiece #jackandjillinc

Unilever was a proud Titanium sponsor of Jack and Jill of America’s 46th Biennial National Convention. Rooted in the commitment of seeing all children succeed in every way as they develop into future leaders is the purpose of Jack and Jill of America, Incorporated. Jack and Jill’s programming primarily centers leadership development, awareness of cultural heritage and community service. Over the past four years, Jack and Jill has been an amazing partner to Unilever especially through its unwavering support of the CROWN Movement and ensuring that children are informed about race-based hair discrimination, their rights, and the resources created for them so that they can live in a positive and healthy psychological state and that is why I am incredibly proud our Unilever, SheaMoisture, Vaseline, and Dove brands served as the sponsors of the 46th National Convention. I am honored to have the opportunity to work alongside leaders dedicated to making a meaningful impact In society. Congratulations to @jackandjillinc, the newly elected administration, and all of this year’s award recipients! 🩷💙🩷💙 Unilever Jack and Jill of America, Inc. #uniquelyunilever
