The President's Corner

Season's Greetings My Gemme Sisters,
It is an honor to recognize this special season with heartfelt greetings.
This is a time to take a moment to celebrate and appreciate all that you have, and all those who are special to you. I also encourage you to pause from the hustle and bustle of the season and focus on the true reason for the season, the birth of the Christ Child.
Regardless of our challenges, the ups and downs, there is much goodness for us to claim. There is joy in our spirits. There is love in our hearts. And there is peace, for which we must behold.
I wish joy for each of your families during this holiday season and a new year of endless possibilities.
Dream Big!

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.
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
