Celebrating the Launch of Held & Rooted Inc.

Sunday, October 4, 2026
Yorba Linda, California

Strong communities are built in good company.

Join us for an elegant afternoon celebrating the community that began with OC Black Moms, the launch of Held & Rooted Inc., and the technology we are building to strengthen connection, resources and belonging for mothers raising Black children.

We are currently inviting businesses, churches, organizations and community partners to become inaugural sponsors. Sponsorship helps us keep individual tickets accessible while supporting the continued development of the Held & Rooted App and the infrastructure behind our growing community.
