3rd Annual Brunch on Purpose Celebrated Empowerment and Community Impact | Broward County Community News#

“At Born on Purpose, we believe everyone has a unique calling,” said Josefa Benjamin, founder of the Born on Purpose Project. “This event is not just about celebrating the journey but also about encouraging each person to step into their purpose with confidence, faith, and determination. We are here to support that growth and to remind each one of you: You’re the One!”

Attendees were encouraged to reflect on their purpose while exploring the theme of “Purpose in Your City,” with Mayor Brunson and Commissioner Beasley Pittman sharing their personal journeys of being born and raised in their cities and now serving as public officials.

Dr. LaTasha “Tasha” Russell led an interactive session, “Drive By Therapy,” which asked participants to consider the emotional and physical baggage they carry and encouraged them to let go of unnecessary burdens. As a symbolic gesture, attendees were invited to take out the mock credit card from their swag bags and pledge, “I’m the One,” holding their cards high in the air as a declaration of self-empowerment.

The event featured a fashion show presented by No Limits Foundation, showcasing the versatility of Born on Purpose apparel, including Born on Purpose and Unstoppable tees, hoodies, and sweatshirts. Attendees had the opportunity to bid on auction baskets curated with unique items to support the Born on Purpose Project’s mission.

Pastor Tekoa Pouerie, Vice President at Pace Center for Girls Headquarters, delivered an inspiring keynote address, urging attendees to live purposefully and embrace their unique calling. Her powerful words resonated with the audience, bringing the theme “You’re the One” theme to life.

The event concluded with a final reflection from the Brunch on Purpose team, highlighting the impact of the day and thanking all the remarkable speakers for their testimonies. Attendees joined in a heartfelt closing prayer led by Pastor Tekoa Pouerie, bringing the event to a meaningful close.
