The AFRO will host the annual Baltimore AFRO High Tea on April 22, honoring “Maryland’s Leading Ladies.”
This year’s event features Maryland’s most prominent women in leadership, including First Lady Dawn Moore, Lt. Governor Aruna Miller, Comptroller Brooke Lierman, and Speaker of the House of Delegates, Adrienne A. Jones. Attendees will enjoy a celebration filled with great food, a variety of music and of course, unique fashion.
“We at the AFRO are honored to host our fifth annual Baltimore High Tea, celebrating Maryland’s Leading Ladies, and the numerous women and men who advance our community,” said Dr. Frances “Toni” Draper, CEO and publisher of the AFRO. “It is our pleasure each year to enjoy this event together, especially in person once again.”
