Danette Anthony Reed

Thank you all!

A half-century of Service and Sisterhood!

Happy 50th Golden AKA Anniversary to our International President & CEO, Danette Anthony Reed!

Initiated into Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® Gamma Chi Chapter at Northwestern University on May 29, 1976, she has spent five decades embodying the core values of AKA.

Today, as a proud member of the Omicron Mu Omega Chapter in Dallas, TX, she continues to inspire us all.

We celebrate your legacy today, Madam President, as we continue to Soar to Greater Heights of Service and Sisterhood!

Continuing my 2026 Regional Conference season travels, I had the pleasure of joining the Significant South Atlantic Region for the 73rd Regional Conference in Orlando, Florida, themed “73rd Mic Drop: SOARing in Sisterhood, in Perfect T.U.N.E.”

I was especially delighted to spend time with my Sister, Tiffany Moore Russell, Esq., as she led her final Regional Conference as Regional Director. Her leadership has been truly Significant, and the legacy she leaves behind will continue to resonate throughout the South Atlantic Region.

Another special thank you to the entire South Atlantic Region planning team for their energy, engagement, and sisterhood on display. Keep Soaring, my Sisters!

We will continue to Advocate for Social Justice!

A message from our International President & CEO, Danette Anthony Reed:

As we observe Law Day and reflect on “The Rule of Law and the American Dream,” it is a time to remember that our voices and our votes are the foundation of that dream.

Recent judicial shifts have challenged the vital protections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, protections that our predecessors fought tirelessly to secure. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated® will not sit idly by as equity and access are diminished.

Sisters, we must remain resolute. We call on our lawmakers to restore these protections and on our communities to stay engaged and mobilized. Our legacy is one of advocacy, resilience, and resistance. Together, we will continue to hold leaders accountable and stand firm for justice.
