HIATUS Series (Unity): Afternoon UniTea

We're kicking off HIATUS with an enchanting virtual afternoon that promises to delight all your senses.

Join us for UniTea Afternoon Tea on February 21, 2026, from 2:00–4:00 PM EST—a virtual gathering that brings the elegance of traditional tea time into the digital age while creating authentic connection among African-American women.

What to Expect

Gourmet tea box delivered to your door: Each participant receives a specially curated box of premium teas and delectable treats from Black purveyors, designed to elevate your afternoon.

Guided reflection & connection: Thoughtfully led exercises to help you identify intentions and aspirations for the year ahead while building meaningful community.

About the Session: Unity, Connection & Community

Led by LaJoy Montgomery, this intimate gathering explores the power of unity, connection, and community among African-American women. We'll examine the roots of insecurity shaped by historical, cultural, and societal factors and discover ways to overcome barriers that limit authentic connection.

Through self-awareness, vulnerability, and openness, participants will learn practical strategies for cultivating meaningful relationships in both in-person and virtual spaces. We'll define what true connection looks like—trust, emotional safety, shared experiences, and belonging—and you'll leave with actionable steps for seeking social, civic, educational, and hobby-based communities that expand your support network. Registrants will receive login details via email.

About HIATUS

HIATUS is a seven-month experience designed for women navigating change, transition, or simply feeling that life needs more care and intention. Following a monthly arc inspired by the principles of Kwanzaa, it offers space to reflect, reset, and move forward with clarity and support.

While HIATUS is designed to be experienced in its entirety, we understand that women want options. You can engage month by month, entering where it feels most relevant, with the freedom to continue as deeply as you choose.

What makes HIATUS different is the powerful combination of expert guidance, meaningful shared experiences, and connection with women who understand your journey. Especially in uncertain times, this kind of support makes a real difference.

We begin with Unity.

UniTea can be experienced on its own or as the first step in your full HIATUS journey—an inviting, intentional way to slow down, connect, and begin in good company.

Spots are very limited. Register now.
