Dr. Angela Gooden On behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated Nu Gamma Omega Chapter, I bring greetings to our Coterie of Debutantes, parents, family, extended family, and community stakeholders. It has been a pleasure to mentor, work with and watch each young lady grow through this timehonored scholarship initiative. For more than forty (40) years this Debutante Program continues to prepare young women to transition from high school to college and beyond. The program encourages and celebrates academic excellence, community service, maintaining healthy relationships and honors the gifts, skills, and talents that lie within. Each Debutante participates in a six to eight-month intensive of opportunities that allow each to broaden her perspectives educationally, socially and culturally. Our Debutante Program trains the next generation of exceptional leaders. Throughout the year our Debutantes participate in lifestyle, etiquette, communication, life skills, job skills training workshops, college preparation seminars, art, music, poetry workshops, teas, and learn about history and culture. They talk about social issues affecting teens, participate in a Rites of Passage cultural event and learn about different forms of dance and creative arts. The culminating event is the Cotillion where family, friends and community supporters come together to celebrate the academic skills and accomplishments of each Debutante, crown the Queen, introduce her Court and support each Debutante in her next level educational pursuits. It is our prayer that the memories garnered, and information obtained from each virtual program allowed each Debutante to learn from, grow and bond with each other. During these past two years, COVID-19 has taught us all, to cherish life, cherish each moment, be more empathetic, more flexible, more gracious, more considerate, more patient, more creative, kinder with each other, lend a helping hand and continue in service to all. The members of Nu Gamma Omega Chapter thank each parent, guardian, sponsor, as well as extended family and friends. This program, this season would not be possible without your love, care, support, commitment and valued participation. The members of Nu Gamma Omega Chapter also thank each vendor, each community partner, each nonprofit and each business for your investment, support of community service programs, mentorship initiatives and scholarship allocations. Without your steadfast devotion to youth, youth initiatives and support of scholarship education for more than forty years; this Program, this Cotillion would not be possible. For more than four decades we have been blessed to have committed Chairmen, Co-Chairmen, a team of Committee members who organize, plan, serve and implement this Debutante Scholarship Program. To Ms. Danielle Staten, Chairman, Co-Chairmen, every Committee Member, and those who work behind the scenes, THANK YOU for continually giving your time, talent and treasure to the many young women who have passed this way and those who are being presented today. Thank you for shaping, mentoring and serving in excellence and for making this a season to be remembered by all. Again, on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated Nu Gamma Omega Chapter, congratulations to the 2021-2022 Nu Gamma Omega Chapter Debutante Program Participants. Our prayer is that you continue to serve and Reflect Beauty and Elegance in all you say and endeavor to do.
Sincerest Regards,
Angela Gooden

General Debutante Chairman Greetings Danielle Staten Congratulations to the 2021-2022 Coterie of Debutantes!
With an overflow of appreciation, I extend my sincerest gratitude on behalf of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, Nu Gamma Omega Chapter and the Nu Gamma Omega Educational and Charitable Foundation, to thank each of you for your support of our annual Debutante Cotillion. I am extremely grateful and proud to have served as Debutante Scholarship Program Chairman. Nu Gamma Omega Chapter has played a significant role in presenting talented and beautiful young ladies to the Greater Baton Rouge Community for nearly four decades. This investment in the development of young ladies, cultivating high ethical standards, and pursuing further educational pursuits is of the utmost importance to ensuring our legacy in the Baton Rouge community. The theme, “Reflections of Beauty and Elegance” signifies the accomplished and charming young ladies whom we have been extremely blessed to have a relationship with throughout this debutante season. We pray that this enriching experience has provided the Coterie of Debutantes with the tools necessary to grow culturally and to be innovators in society. In addition, the close bonds between the fourteen debutantes are the beginning of life-long friendships. Through participation in workshops, community service projects, and dance practices throughout the season, the Nu Gamma Omega Chapter believes these experiences have enhanced the debutantes’ commitment to serving those in need, celebrating the achievements of each other, making wise choices, demonstrating social graces and etiquette, and representing oneself in a manner that honors thy parents. Furthermore, I pray that the precious memories created within the Coterie and with your amazing parents are cherished forever. Debutantes as you continue this wonderful journey that we call life, always remember Proverbs 3:5-6, “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” My life was truly enriched as the Debutante Chairman for the 2021-2022 Coterie of Debutantes, and I will continue to support the debutantes as they move forward in the next chapter of their lives. May God continue to bless all of you.
Sincerely, Danielle Staten

Nu Gamma Omega Educational & Charitable Foundation President’s Greeting Bridgette Brister Greetings! On behalf of the Board of Directors and members of Nu Gamma Omega Educational and Charitable Foundation, I congratulate our 2021-2022 Coterie of Debutantes. These beautiful, astute, academically successful, multi-talented young ladies have already been recognized for their educational prowess, extracurricular endeavors, and volunteerism. Yet, we know that they are destined for far greater accomplishments in years to come, and we, the members of Nu Gamma Omega Foundation are humbled that they chose to be a Nu Gamma Omega Debutante—continuing a legacy that began over 40 years ago. Their journey to membership in this illustrious group of young women included many months of workshops, etiquette classes, and community service projects…all designed to engage, empower, enlighten, enrich, and educate them. They also participated in a Rites of Passage program, dance practices, and a Mother-Daughter Luncheon that fostered bonding among the Debs, their families, and our members. Yes, the Debutante Program required a serious time commitment, active participation, and service, but we’re certain that participants and parents will agree that the rewards at the end of the journey are immeasurable and provide memories that will last a lifetime. Nu Gamma Omega’s Debutante Program began in 1981 during the administration of Nu Gamma Omega Chapter’s first President, Gloria Dean London. Since its establishment in 1985 and recognition as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization in 1990, Nu Gamma Omega Educational and Charitable Foundation has collaborated with the Chapter to present an annual Debutante experience for female high school seniors. Over the years through this collaboration, Nu Gamma Omega Foundation has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars in college scholarships. In addition, funds raised through this program help provide a myriad of exemplary and progressive community-based programs that address significant issues in education, health, and economic empowerment, offer cultural enrichment opportunities, and make a difference worldwide. We are grateful to our Debutantes, parents, families, and friends for your support of this program. Because of you, we are blessed to be a blessing in the Greater Baton Rouge community. Kindest Regards,
Bridgette Brister Bridgette Brister, President Nu Gamma Omega Educational & Charitable Foundation

Nu Gamma Omega Chapter History On February 16, 1980, Nu Gamma Omega Chapter was chartered as the second alumnae chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated for the Baton Rouge metropolitan area. Dorothy Johnson, Regional Director, presided at the chartering of the 45th graduate chapter in the South Central Region. The first officers were Gloria London, President; Penny Guine, Vice-President; Mary Toaston, Secretary; Kathy Mathews, Assistant Secretary; Elaria Sims, Corresponding Secretary; Joycelyn Ward, Treasure; Jewel Payne, Financial Secretary; Eileen Kennedy, Parliamentarian; Brenda Nero, Sergeant-at-Arms; Bridgett Jackson, Grants Coordinator; Linda Cosey, Hostess; Cleo Joffrion, Ivy Leaf Reporter; Geneva Lee, Membership Chairman and Doris Williams, Chapter Liaison. In addition to the officers, the other chartering members included Carla Alfred, Safronia Amos, Linda Early Brown, Shirley Brown, Augrett Brumfield, Earlene Crumpton, Pamela Ginn, Demetris Howard, Sherry Irving, Eloise Jack, Irma Jackson, Stella Jackson, Vanessa Jackson, Pamela McCaster, Lesia Minor, Leola Mitchell, Lenetta Romar, Mary Ann Torrance, Rose Trahan, Gwendolyn Washington, Roena Wilford and Rochelle Williams. On January 8, 1990, Nu Gamma Omega Educational and Charitable Foundation, Incorporated received approval as a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization, the philanthropic arm, to provide resources for the betterment of mankind. Many individuals and organizations have benefited from the educational programs, projects sponsored, the financial support, and the awarding of scholarships by the Foundation. One of the major goals of the Chapter was to secure a facility. The purchase of the building was finalized on July 8, 1992 at a cost of $114,000. Nu Gamma Omega initiated a variety of annual projects at its inception. Some of the beginning program thrusts included: 1. Implemented a textbook sale to local residents for .25 cents and the proceeds were returned to the EBR School Board. 2. Awarded five scholarships to graduating high school seniors. 3. Presented debutantes to the community. Prior to the presentation, the young ladies were involved in civic and social activities, as well as preparatory activities for the cotillion. 4. A preschool workshop for daycare centers was established. The topics included social adjustment, motor coordination, nutrition, daycare licensing, working with the handicapped child, language development, art and recognizing potential child abuse. 5. Delivered Easter Baskets to disadvantage/adoptable children in low-income areas. 6. Worked with Teen Parent Centers to provide such activities as Grandmothers’ Luncheon, Fashion Show and Single Parenting Seminars. 7. Contributed extensively to local charities such as NAACP, Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation and CAWSC.
Chapter History (continued) For more than four decades, Nu Gamma Omega has continued to address academic, social, civic, cultural and economic issues of the times. Some of the beginning program thrusts have continued and additional relevant areas of concern have become an identifiable thread in the patchwork of the Chapter. Major efforts in the areas of the Arts, Economic Security, Mentoring, Health & Wellness and Social Justice are staples of the service provided to the Baton Rouge community and beyond. On a monthly basis a group of local girls, Dreammakers II, gather to participate in workshops aimed to educate, entertain, and enlighten as they interact with professional women and cultivate relation-ships with mentors. There are ongoing activities designed to focus on supporting Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Women’s Health, Economic Security, The Arts, and Global Impact. In addition, on a monthly basis local high school boys and girls participate in the sorority's signature youth program CAP, which is designed to assist students as they seek admission to college by providing guidance and support in completing the application and enrollment process through Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. international 2018-2022 Signature Program, #CAPSM. Additionally, efforts to provide meals and food to shelters and organizations that cater to those less fortunate are a primary concern. Voter registration and education initiatives provide a platform for every citizen to exercise their inalienable rights. Incessant efforts to improve the health and wellness of our members, their families and the community occur in the forms of book clubs, local walks, financial support and health education. Our financial and physical support uniquely parallel mandates from our corporate office and the needs of our local community. Additional charities that have benefited from the generosity of Nu Gamma Omega Chapter include the American Heart Association, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, Soles for Souls, Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank and Battered Women’s Shelter. The list is extensive and varied but synonymous with the service we provide. Service and sisterhood are the ties that bind Nu Gamma Omega together and are the fuel that has perpetuated her existence for more than 40 years. The ladies of Nu Gamma Omega Chapter are continuously striving to meet the challenges of the day and through local and corporate programming efforts, we are difference makers. Alpha Kappa Alpha’s motto of “Service to All Mankind” lives proudly and actively in the hearts of every Nu Gamma Omega Member, past and present.

A Mother’s Prayer Dear Lord, I pray for my child Kaydence White who is stepping into a new season with new challenges. I pray you help her with the logistics of life and challenge her to walk closely with you. Help her to work hard to study well and to use this time to develop skills and gifts for your purposes. Let her not be tempted with worldliness. Let her eyes see you and have clear ears to hear you as she navigates big decisions about her major, internships, relationships, and her future. Please bring clarity and to Kaydence’s decisions and peace as she makes them. Help her to seek your will above her own. Please help her to know the purpose you have for her and to be patient as you reveal your perfect will for her. Help her to lean not on her own understanding but to trust you to make all her paths straight. Provide her with discernment when other is speaking wisdom from you, and discernment with friends, situations, and opportunities. Open doors for her widely and close them loudly so that she may hear you and obey. Provide all her financial, educational, and occupational needs. Let her honor you with her money through helping others, giving cheerfully knowing that you will supply according to your riches in Christ Jesus. Thank you in advance for your overall provision in Kaydence’s life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
So proud of my perfect little daughter Kaydence White Whose so beautiful, intelligent, and priceless. On October 14, 2004, I became a father, a better Man, a better provider, because that’s who you needed me to be. My prayer for you is that God post his angels around you all day long. I pray that God’s Spirit rests upon your shoulders without measure or limits. I pray that every weapon and plan of the wicked will fail and that your enemies will melt in your presence. May wisdom be your clothing and faith be your language. May success, prosperity, wealth, and affluence shadow you all your days. May God Always keep you in perfect peace and perfect health. I pray you find your purpose in life which will ultimately make Gods name glorious. This is my prayer for you always Daddy Prentice L. White
I am immensely proud of my Granddaughter Kaydence Gabrielle White As an infant, you slept on my belly while your mother took naps. As a toddler, we played chess and worked on my taxes using the abacus. We read history books about Genghis Kahn, McBeth and Dr. Seuss. Your parents disagreed, but the wrinkles in your forehead showed me you understood. As a little girl I taught you about finances. We had many enjoyable daytrips shopping at Dillard’s in New Orleans. I had a slight heart attack when you played hide and seek in the store, and I could not find you. In middle school, I taught you how to save money by eating the free snacks at Whole Foods and Sam’s. We also had many lunch dates talking about life and friendships at Piccadilly.
As a teenager we have had many conversations about politics, institutional racism, and investing wisely. Your foundation is set. I am proud of who you have become. As we have many more talks ahead, I know that you will do great things. I can’t wait to see what’s next. I love you always, my little sweetheart PAW PAW Dixon
A Grandmother’s Prayer God, you have blessed me indeed as the child I love, has had a child I love with all that is within me. I pray that in your mercy you watch over and protect my grandchildren as you have always done for me. May their lives be long and healthy. May they have the courage to follow their dreams, and should the day come when I am no longer on this earth with them, may they look back upon me with fond memories and may they never forget that they were and always will be deeply loved by me. I love You KK, and Ma Ma is so Proud of you. Grandma Hattie
To my dearest niece Kaydence White who I have had the pleasure to be one of the first persons to meet you when you were born. It is hard to believe you are now a little career girl. I am so elated and proud of your accomplishments. I pray that you will always have sunshine. That you will never forget your worth. That you would never lose that beautiful smile, and that you’ll always have dreams-coupled with the energy and the confidence to chase them. I pray you never run out of hugs and that you are always loved. May you stay innocent yet become powerful. Enjoy your debut and I am so proud of you. I will always be here to help you follow your dreams. Love You Personnified Infinity T-ToTo Dr. Victoria Dixon

A time has come, and it is now. Will you take a stand or bend your knee and bow? Will you state your case? Will you run this race? or turn in disgrace, try to hide your face? You've spoken the word, and by many were heard. Now what will you do when it's left up to you? Will you act out your faith, during a trial? Will you do what is right? Will you put up a fight? When you're put at a cross-roam, what choice will you make? Will you stand for the truth for the Lord's name’s sake? Do what is right; try not to lose sight. make the right decision amidst all the division. For when you've done all to stand, take a hold of God's hand. He will lead you and guide you, staying right there beside you. Don't try to please man doing all that you can. make time for the Lord; you will reap a reward. Be a blessing to others; help your sisters and brothers. Care for those in need. Help multiply their seed. Be gracious and faithful. Be fair and be true, looking not unto others. Let the change come through you. Associate Mom Kim Benjamin Poem by Lydia Preston

Keeping Rising and Shining, Kaydence Gabrielle White!
You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lies, you may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I’ll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom?’ Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, just like hopes springing high, Still I’ll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling like teardrops, Weakened by my soulful cries? Does my haughtiness offend you? Don’t you take it awful hard Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines Digging’ in my own backyard. You may shoot me with your words, you may cut me with your eyes, you may kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise. Out of the huts of history’s shame, I Rise from a past that’s rooted in pain, I rise I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear, I rise into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear, I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise. I rise. I rise. ‘Still I Rise’ – by Maya Angelou The Tillage Family

Memorial to My Grandma “MiMi” There is magic in a grandmother’s touch. Although many memories of you are vague…in my mind, I remember a touch and a smile. In the air I breathe, I know you are here smiling. In a rose garden of vague memories, are my thoughts of you driving me around, taking me to church at age 2. Peeping through a glass door waiving hello, or the phone ringing throughout the day …I heard mom saying, “that’s mamma”. One day the phone stop ringing, and no one was at the glass door peeping in smiling It was as if the whole earth stood still. The next time I heard the phone, I responded “That’s Momma”-I recall a flood of tears of my mom’s, that I did not understand. I can shed tears because you are gone, or I can smile because you have lived. You taught my mother to be positive. I am that I am today because of how you raised my mother. To be graceful, loving, protective, secure, accountable, successful, frugal but giving. I am told that no one in the world could beat you giving to others. That you were meek, quiet, and humble to others. In fact, no one knew, until strangers spoke at your services. For this you have earned your crown in heaven. You will always hold the crown in our hearts. I Love You Always Mi Mi

Dedicated to the Coterie of Debutantes of NU GAMMA OMEGA FOUNDATION “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" TEAM JAME’
I RISE You may write me down in history
Just like hopes springing high
With your bitter, twisted lies,
Did you want to see me broken?
You may tread me in the very dirt
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom?
Does my haughtiness offend you?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Don't you take it awful hard
Pumping in my living room.
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard.
Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides,
You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise.
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
Does my sexiness upset you?
I rise
Does it come as a surprise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
That I dance like I've got diamonds
I rise
At the meeting of my thighs?
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
I rise
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise.
I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide ,Still I'll rise.
By Dr. Maya Angelou

Dear Cameron, Thank you for being a dutiful escort and darling young man. Your future is bright, let nothing distract you from all that GOD has for you. A man is judged by a few things in life: 1. the company he keeps; 2. how he acts in times of moral test; and 3. how he treats the people around him that can do nothing for him.
Good Luck in your future endeavors and keep GOD as the head of your life. TEAM JAME’

Best Wishes to Our Granddaughter
Debutante Morgan Janell Veal Adapted from “To My Granddaughter” Grandma’s Pearls of Wisdom by Becky Netherland
I’ve traveled paths you’ve yet to walk, learned lessons old and new And now this wisdom of my life, I’m blessed to share with you Let kindness spread like sunshine, embrace those who are sad Respect their dignity, give them joy, and leave them feeling glad. Forgive those who might hurt you, and though you have your pride Listen closely to their viewpoint, try to see the other side Walk softly when you’re angry, try not to take offense Invoke your sense of humor, laughter’s power is immense! Express what you are feeling, your beliefs you should uphold Don’t shy away from what is right, be courageous and be bold Keep hope right in your pocket, it will guide you day by day Take it out when it is needed, when it’s near, you’ll find a way. Remember friends and family, of which you are a precious part Love deeply and love truly, give freely from your heart The world is far from perfect, there’s conflict and there’s strife But you still can make a difference, by how you live your life. And so, we’re very blessed to know, the wonders you will do Because you are our granddaughter, and we believe in you. Morgan, we are exceedingly proud to call you, our granddaughter.
With love and adoration, Grandmother Evatness Veal-Moton, Grandfather Gerald Moton Smiling from Heaven, Grandfather Eddie Melvin Veal, Jr.

Congrats to my Godchild! KAYDENCE WHITE
I pray you know how grateful I am to be chosen as your godfather. To watch you grow and emulate a man of faith alongside of Jesus, your father and grandfather. I want you to understand that I cherish the responsibilities that being a godfather brings. When you were little, you were filled with trust, faith, love and laughter. I want the very best for you in life as I do my biological daughters. Know that there will be boys who will tell you that you are beautiful. Respond, “Thanks, but I’m aware”. There will be boys who will open the door for you. Tell them “That’s routine, the fathers in your life have opened doors for you both physically and spiritually all of your life”. They will try to impress and bless you with trinkets of their affection. Remember, this does not make him a man. Unfortunately, someday a Man will enter your life according to proverbs 31:11-12. He will be full of confidence and lack nothing of value proverbs 31:11-12, he will be sound in his faith, serious, sensible and endurant Titus 2:2-3, he will not be attached to his father or Mother Genesis 2:24, and he will fear God and avoid immorality 1Corrinthians 6:18. He will have wisdom according to Daniel 1.17. You always have your father’s protection.
