Colloquially, a cook who prepares a delicious meal is said to have “put their foot” in it- and that is exactly what Friend of HerShe and community Chef Cynthia De Leon did in preparing the bountiful spread enjoyed at the annual HerShe Thanksgiving Dinner on 11/17/12! The atmosphere was warm and jovial as our HerShe girls helped to prepare a fresh and delicious salad and set the table in preparation for the family-style buffet.
The HerShe family then gathered around a table adorned with festive autumn-themed decor and enthusiastically filled their plates with all of the traditional Thanksgiving fixings, including turkey, yams, string beans, mashed potatoes and cobbler. As they dined, laughed and enjoyed each other’s company, the time came for each attendee to share with the group those things for which they are most grateful. This beautiful and poignant portion of the evening brought about expressions of gratitude for the sisterhood and support within HerShe, for good health and life itself, for challenges overcome and for HerShe founder Kenadie’s vision that provided for the possibility of such a gathering. Reflecting on our blessings even as they coexist with personal trials was such an enriching, intimate and humbling experience.
The HerShe Group is extremely thankful for the support of the community and people like YOU that are invested in the success of our amazing girls.
