Picture: “Tabitha’s Daughters “Chat N Chew” Domestic Violence Awareness Luncheon – Saturday, October 21, 2023

Dr. Rose Moriarity was a treasure and tour de force within Pittsburgh’s education community. Known for her fierce caring and concern for children’s education, Dr. Rose was the first African American female principal of an African centered school in the Pittsburgh school system, (Miller African-Centered Academy.) Because of Rose and her creative vision for improved education of black children, this endeavor was supported by PPS and became a reality in the Hill District community of Pittsburgh.

Rose was a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend of all who knew her. In 2016, Dr. Rose joined the Tabitha’s Daughters Fellowship in Pittsburgh, PA and became an instant loving presence and Elder of our sisterhood. Her courage and devotion to her family and community was experienced by those who loved her and watched her valiant fight against cancer, until she transitioned on May 12, 2022.

Tabitha’s Daughters dedicated the Dr. Rose Moriarty Courage Annual Scholarship through the Daniel’s Den Cancer Ministry. Roxanne Robinson, member of Tabitha’s Daughters and founder of Daniel’s Den collaborated with our fellowship to establish this annual offering to cancer survivors who will receive monetary support from our partnership.

Tabitha’s Daughters salutes you Dr. Rose Moriarity and may your love for community live on through us.

“TRUTH IS POWERFUL AND IT PREVAILS” – Sojourner Truth

Currently, in the state of Florida, led by Governor Ron DeSantis, the history of the African in America is being erased. Statements such as his: “Slaves developed skills which, in some instances, could be applied for their personal benefit,” are replacing the authentic stories of our enslaved ancestors. Florida teachers are currently being forced to readjust and teach curriculum that lies about the inhumane passage of the Africans to the Americas, and the 400 years of forced labor and the selling of human beings in the Americas, because the truth does not fit the political agenda of the day. Fear and intolerance are on the rise, especially when our history is erased because of denial and hate. Tabitha’s Daughters must be part of the antidote to this disturbing mindset. The antidote is JUSTICE!

Margaret Mead once observed: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” Tabitha’s Daughters is among the “small group of thoughtful, committed citizens,” who seek to change this present dangerous and vicious agenda.

Our new project”, “The Lioness Speaks” is an archive and intentional chronicling of our TRUTH – Our Truth is: Our stories of survival, victory, defeat, transformation, and healing. The proto-type link is below. This is a sample of what the “Lioness Speaks” project will seek to become in the very near future.

Tabitha’s Daughters, LLC introduces a new project for our organization entitled: “Therapeuo.” This is a Greek word that means: “heal, healing, healed.” In response to our Self-Care Retreat of 10/7/2022 in Monroe, North Carolina (pictures posted), this new project was identified and created.

Guest facilitator and therapist, Dr. Sharon Higginbothan (Higginbothan & Associates) joined in collaboration with Tabitha’s Daughters to create a therapeutic support group for women which offers healing, self-transformation, and mental health justice to those of us who are seeking empowerment and growth through support group therapy.

A Time of Healing & Restoration – “Therapeuo is a gathering of women to offer support around emotional and mental well-being. The Therapeuo Project focuses on everything that keeps women from authentically embracing our inter-beauty, awareness, and good mental health for ourselves, our community, and the world.” Let the healing begin!

THE THERAPEUO PROJECT BEGINS: Tuesday, February 21, 2023

Conference Date: Wednesday, January 26th @ 6:30 p.m. on Zoom

TABITHA’S DAUGHTER WHITE PARTIES

One of our sovereign assignments as women of color is to heal ourselves, so we can heal the world. What does this mean and what does it look like? Healing must manifest as SELF-CARE! As Tabitha’s Daughters, we believe in the self-practices of rest, meditation, healthy eating, deep breathing, stretching, and soul work. Tabitha’s Daughters believes firmly in this observation and way of life: “Self-Care is NOT an Indulgence. It’s a discipline.”

Let’s continue to live and spread the good news of Self-Care practice. Our lives, our Community, and the world depends on it because: “When a woman is healed, the world gets better!”
