Welcome

Message from the Chapter President Julie Harris Nelson

 On Mission on Purpose is how the Majestic Miami Chapter started the 2022-23 program year.  The Miami Vision was clear… 


lead, motivate and encourage our Mothers to better their brand. Pave the way for our children by Adjusting our individual Crowns of Greatness while planting seeds of leadership through our children in our community. The Miami Chapter exposes their children to extraordinary chapter programming under the leadership efforts of Program Director Lindsay Hopkins, while at the same time teaching our children to be philanthropic, kind and respectful. 


Our Miami Chapter programming includes but is not limited, promoting the arts and education by sponsoring  South Florida Childrens’ Cluster, attending cultural excursions to tennis matches, sailing events, teaching etiquette classes, collecting/preparing/serving meals to the needy, can food drives, attending  Jack and Jill golf outings, exploring the Underground Salt Water Railroad and Lighthouse, packing backs of school supplies for the Boys and Girls Club of America, studying the history of black jockeys contribution to horse racing and traveling around the world virtually to learn about other cultures and traditions. 


The Miami family faces a new normal and challenge, everyday.  This Chapter always accepts the challenge. Miami parents are resilient and so are the children!  Their mission is always on purpose and always for all the children.


Julie Harris Nelson Miami Chapter President

OUR PHILANTHROPIC FOCUS

African American Families | Education | Health & Wellness

There’s a real need in African American communities for a concentrated focus on root cause issues affecting long-term outcomes for African American children.

We are committed to supporting services, programs and organizations that address underlying causes of social problems affecting African American communities, families and ultimately children..

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

 

Health and Wellness – Why It Matters?

  • 26% of African Americans receive federal benefits (S.N.A.P.) to prevent malnutrition and hunger in children, yet there are 5 million African American children that live in food deserts.


  • 19% of African American lives without adequate health care insurance


  • African Americans spend a higher percentage of their income on health care costs compared to their white counterparts (16.5% vs. 12.2%)


  • African Americans face health care disparities; 48% suffer from a chronic disease versus 39% of the general population
