There was a time when elegance was second nature.
When Sunday brunch was an event, and the smallest details- gloves, pearls, perfume-spoke volumes about who we were and how we carried ourselves.
For many of us, those memories live in the women who raised us, and the women who graced our screens: Hilary Banks. Whitley Gilbert. Regine Hunter. Claire Huxtable. Dominique Deveraux. Aunt Viv.
They were more than fictional characters; they were blueprints. They taught us to sit tall, speak softly but boldly, and to never apologize for our brilliance or beauty
🌸 A Celebration of Soft Power
This spring, we’ll honor that lineage at Black Elegance Weekend: a luxurious, three-night retreat at The Mansion at Noble Lane in Bethany, Pennsylvania. Hosted during the final weekend of May 2026, this is an opportunity for you to enjoy a beautiful space with Black women who lead with kindness.
It’s not a conference or a networking event. It’s a reintroduction: to yourself, to softness, to joy.
We’ll slow down. Sip tea. Dress up. Laugh. Rest.
Enjoy plush bedding and fluffy robes in your room, a delicious and beautifully plated breakfast each morning, soul-satisfying meals, a rejuvenating private yoga session, and smores and champagne in the beautiful Pennsylvania countryside.
And together, we’ll reclaim the sa
The sacredness of leisure, something Black women have long been denied.
👒 The “Her Elegance Era” High Tea
The centerpiece of the weekend is our Derby-Inspired High Tea & Style Showcase.
Guests are invited to channel one of our iconic muses, such as Hilary, Whitley, Regine, Dominique, or Aunt Viv, for an afternoon of elegance and play.
Expect florals, fascinators, finger sandwiches, caviar, and laughter echoing across the lawn.
It’s fashion as storytelling, a joyful homage to the women who showed us what it meant to own a room with grace.
Prizes will be awarded for Most Authentic Look, Modern Interpretation, and Best Group Ensemble.
But truly, everyone wins the moment they remember how good it feels to shine.
🕊️ More Than a Getaway
Black Elegance Weekend is about more than luxury; it’s about reclamation.
Reclaiming ease as a birthright.
Reclaiming softness as strength.
Reclaiming sisterhood as sanctuary.
We’ll share meals, conversation, and quiet moments of reflection.
By Sunday morning’s champagne brunch, you’ll be not just refreshed, but renewed.
