The President's Corner

President’s Message,
​
 ​It is a pleasure to welcome you to the Nashville Chapter of Les Gemmes, Inc.  You are entering a wonderful journey about accomplished African American women who focus on the growth of our jewels.  Through the years, Les Gemmes, Inc. has adopted programmatic goals to reach citizens throughout the United States. The Nashville Chapter has made its impact under the National Program Initiative, Lighting the Path for Girls. In this initiative, we mentor young ladies in the community from middle school through high school and college. The young ladies are referred to as our “Jewels.” Monthly, we engage with the Jewels through cultural and educational activities. In this process, we enhance life skills, which address character development, building integrity and high self-esteem. We also expose the Jewels to a myriad of cultural, civic and community oriented experiences and assist them in understanding the importance of giving back to their community through hands on service activities.

The signature event for the Nashville Chapter of Les Gemmes, is the annual Literary Luncheon.  It takes place every year in the Winter-Spring time,  that aligns with Black History Month and Women’s History Month.  However, during these COVID times, it will be held in May this year.
The Nashville Chapter has more than 30 members from a myriad of backgrounds, from education to law to entrepreneurialship, all focused on uplifting the community.
​
We invite you to journey with us, learn about our signature program, get to know our members and invest in our activities for our Jewels.  We are focused on lifting, supporting, and guiding Jewels.  We invite you to travel our journey with us.  It’s the opportunity of a lifetime.
 
Warmest regards,
 
Dr. Phyllis Qualls, President
