BRUNCH ON PURPOSE III

Centered around the theme “You’re The One,” Brunch on Purpose emphasized the power each individual holds to create lasting change and break generational cycles. It showcased the potential everyone has to inspire transformative change, encouraging attendees to continue making a positive impact within their families and communities.

The 3rd Annual Brunch on Purpose was more than just a gathering—it was a call to action, a celebration of individuality, and a reminder of the transformative power that lies within each of us. Centered around the theme “You’re The One,” this year’s event emphasized the unique potential every person has to spark meaningful change and break generational cycles that may have previously held them or their communities back.

The theme resonated throughout every aspect of the brunch, from Tekoa Pouerie's dynamic keynote speech to the intimate, transformative conversations led by Dr. LaTasha Russell through her Drive-By Therapy program. Each moment reinforced the idea that change begins with recognizing the power within ourselves. The event showcased personal stories of triumph and resilience, highlighting how individuals can turn challenges into stepping stones toward progress. These narratives inspired participants to reflect on their own journeys and the legacy they wish to create.


At its core, Brunch on Purpose was a celebration of purpose-driven living. It brought together a diverse group of changemakers, dreamers, and doers, united by a shared commitment to creating brighter futures for themselves and the generations to come. The gathering emphasized that breaking generational cycles is not only possible but achievable when individuals take intentional steps toward change—whether through education, mentorship, advocacy, or simply being a consistent source of positivity within their families and communities.


More than a one-day event, Brunch on Purpose serves as a movement that inspires continued action. It reminds us that the power to create change doesn’t come from external forces alone—it begins with the belief that we are the ones capable of initiating transformation. By embracing this truth, attendees were encouraged to continue making meaningful progress in their lives, to uplift those around them, and to step confidently into their roles as agents of positive impact.



As the brunch concluded, the room was filled with a palpable sense of hope and determination. Each person left not only with a renewed sense of purpose, but also with the support of a community ready to walk alongside them on their journey. Brunch on Purpose is more than an event—it is a testament to the impact of believing, “You’re the One.”
