Grateful to have been invited to share in such a phenomenal evening! An exclusive evening of pure elegance with our forever First Lady Michelle Obama, in celebration of the incredible milestone of Dr. Opal Lee’s 100th birthday, tonight was truly one for the books!

There is something special about being in spaces where legacy, leadership, and purpose come together. We’re grateful to have been in the room, to witness the celebration, and to experience an evening we won’t soon forget!

What a gift to witness history and celebrate legacy. 🤍 by @distinctivelyher

Hello, October. 🤍

A new month doesn’t require a new version of you. It’s an opportunity to pause, realign, and be intentional about where you’re going and who God is calling you to become.

You don’t have to have every step figured out. Just take the next one with intention.

What are you choosing to prioritize, pursue, or make space for this month? Tell us below. ✨📲 by @distinctivelyher

The vision for the 30th Grand Cotillion is officially underway… 👀✨

We are so elated to begin this special journey with Dallas designer Tiffany Walker @pinklucyofficial, as we bring our Debutante gown vision to life!!

From the live sketching of the very first design concepts to exchanging ideas and details about what the evening will represent, how exciting it was to watch the vision unfold right before our eyes!

And then came the part we can’t share just yet…#TopSecret

Let’s just say… what we saw has us VERY excited for what’s to come. 👑💕

Without a doubt, this is going to be a night to remember!! #30years #DistinctivelyDebs #DHdebs #debutanteprogram by @distinctivelyher

DAY 3 ✨ And if you were with us last year, you already know...

Our inaugural Grace Under Fire closed in prayer, and Pastor Cora Jakes had us laid out before the Lord!! It was one of those moments you could feel, and one we haven’t forgotten!

So as we approach Day 3 of Grace Under Fire 2026, we’re coming with great expectation! We’re believing God to meet us again in prayer, to restore, strengthen, heal, and remind us of who He has called us to be!

And after we pray, we’ll move!! 🗣️

Through Community Impact Day, we’ll take what we've received beyond the screen and put our faith into action! Be sure to check the website for details on where you can serve in your community! #linkinbio

***Dallas ladies, just 10 SPOTS REMAINING for our community service opportunity***

Day 3 is not just a closing. We’re expecting a move!

🗓️ August 15, 2026
