Celebrate Ella: Give Thanks, Give Back!

This year, I’m celebrating my birthday in a unique way by giving back. 🧡

It’s been a tough year for so many families here in D.C. — from the Doge layoffs, to the 318,000 Black women who’ve lost jobs, to the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history. These headlines aren’t just statistics — they represent real people in our community who are struggling to make ends meet, to keep food on the table, and to hold onto hope.

Instead of gifts or a party, I’m asking friends, family, and colleagues to join me in supporting the Capital Area Food Bank, which provides healthy meals and essential resources to families across the region. Together, we can help ease the burden for those most affected.

✨ Here’s how you can help:

$50 feeds a family of four for a full week.
Any amount makes a difference, truly.
ALL donations are 100% tax-deductible

Our goal: $5,000 to nourish as many families as possible this season.

Let’s turn gratitude into action. Let’s ensure every family feels seen, supported, and cared for.

Thank you for being a part of my birthday wish, to give thanks and give back. 🧡

🎉 P.S. If you’d like to join me in volunteering at the Capital Area Food Bank on my actual birthday, November 26th, please let me know! Spaces are limited.
