Illuminating Art: Commemorating 18 Remarkable Years of Les Gemmes’ Literary Luncheon

In 2007, I convened with Mrs. Edwina Hefner in the TSU President’s sunroom to explore the creation of a Les Gemmes, Incorporated chapter in Nashville, inspired by connections made in Atlanta. We enlisted local advocates to establish the Nashville Chapter, fostering mentorship through our program, “Lighting The Path For Girls.” Recognizing the importance of funding for workshops and scholarships, we initiated a “Literary Luncheon.” This event has since evolved to honor community heroes and artists, enhancing our mission each year. Join us on May 17 for the 18th Luncheon to support future women leaders!
