You
know
we
had
to
celebrate
the
mirror-mesmerizing
ladies
of
Alpha
Kappa
Alpha
Sorority,
Incorporated
who’ve
spent
the
last
116
years
exemplifying
excellence
while
representing
the
true
meaning
of
“service
to
all
mankind.”
The
storied
organization
started
as
the
vision
of
nine
college
students
on
the
campus
of
Howard
University
in
1908.
Since
then,
the
sorority
has
flourished
as
a
globally-impactful
organization
of
nearly
300,000
college-trained
members
bound
by
the
bonds
of
sisterhood
and
empowered
by
a
commitment
to
servant-leadership
across
the
globe.
As
Alpha
Kappa
Alpha
has
grown,
it
has
maintained
its
focus
on
the
lifelong
personal
and
professional
development
of
each
of
its
members
and
galvanizing
its
membership
into
an
organization
of
respected
power
and
influence,
consistently
at
the
forefront
of
effective
advocacy
and
social
change
that
results
in
equality
and
equity
for
all
citizens
of
the
world.
Notable
members
of
the
organization
include
Maya
Angelou,
Phylicia
Rashad,
Toni
Morrison,
Lynn
Whitfield,
Yolanda
Adams,
Vice
President
Kamala
Harris,
and
many
more
who
continue
to
inspire
generations
of
dynamic
Black
women.
In
2021,
an
especially
