Your dreams are a window into your highest goals and expectations for your life. They give you a glimpse of the life you want to live and remind you of the incredible power you have to bring them to fruition. Dreams are the inspiration you need to step out on faith and the bravery you need to sail away from your safe harbor. They inspire you to explore the seemingly unattainable, discover all of the possibilities at your fingertips, and dream even bigger.

You are already an incredible Alpha woman, but how much more fulfilled could you be if you turned every doubt and hesitation into the wind that keeps you moving towards your dreams? Your dreams are more than fleeting fantasies or daydreams. Let them set sail, and get ready for an amazing journey!

This month’s Ivy Box will have you and your dreams sailing pretty in your Alpha Kappa Alpha Vintage Script Sailor Polo, Alpha Kappa Alpha Vintage Script Canvas Wristlet, and Two Pink and Green Beaded Bracelet Set.

Did you feel that? That something moving in your spirit as you read those words? Read them again. You are your best thing. God equipped you with everything you need to live a fulfilling life. All you have to do is embrace your power, believe in yourself and act without fear.

There’s no need to look to others for approval or wait on someone else to make a move. Everything you need to start working towards that dream and bringing that vision board to life is already in your possession.

This month’s Ivy Box will have you adorning your greatest asset with the most beautiful items in your 20 Pearls Poplin Button Down Dress and Pearl Drop Earrings!

Psalm 37:23 (NLT) says, “The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.” God has planted you in this place for your good and His glory. So, trust that there is an opportunity to grow and ultimately bloom.

This month’s Ivy Box has you ready for the showers of spring in your new AKA Color Block Cropped Trench. Slip on this versatile piece, and get ready to bloom while looking gorgeous in green. Let us know how you’re loving March’s Ivy Box down below!

Our shared experience have weaved together an unbreakable bond and allowed us to form a community of love and support. It is our sisterhood that fill our cups with courage and coat us with the love that we need to continue walking in excellence. Our Sorors cheer us on, validate our feelings, provide encouragement, and lend us protection. We are our sister’s keeper, and this sisterhood is an honor and a privilege like none other!

Sisterhood will always stand as a pillar of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. This month’s Ivy Box pays homage to the tradition of sisterhood with the beautiful “Generations” Quilt by world-renowned artist, Sherry Shine. The famous quilting of Sherry Shine had been exhibited across the country in galleries, colleges, and museums. 

Celebrate 114 Years of Service! With countless initiatives at the local, state and national levels. AKAs have partnered with numerous organizations to solve problems within their communities and provide services to those in need. Initiatives like Breast Cancer Awareness campaigns have worked to promote health and wellness among communities of color. College admission campaigns have helped underrepresented high school students traverse the landscape of college admissions. From HBCU backing to support for the arts, AKAs have a proven history of community service.

Celebrate 114 Years of Sisterhood! AKA’s have shown up for one another for more than 100 years, creating a solidarity deeply rooted in the bonds of sisterhood. Whether it’s to straighten a sister’s crown or applaud her successes, AKA represents more than a century of intelligent, innovative, and beautiful queens celebrating and supporting one another.

This month’s Ivy Box will have you showcasing more than a century of excellence, service and sisterhood with your new AKA Tweed Tunic and AKA Tweed Carryall Bag. It’s time to celebrate!

2021 was also a year of family and fellowship. Maybe you rediscovered why you fell in love with your spouse or made some lifetime memories with your kids. Maybe the risks of the virus brought you closer to an elder or gave you the time to finally reconnect with your dearest friends. Even while socially distanced, family took center stage, and this is the perfect time of year to celebrate them.

The holidays may not look the same this year, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be filled with joy. Your health and your family make you wealthy beyond all dollars and cents. So, hold on to your loved ones extra tight and have yourself a ‘Pearlfect’ Christmas!

Your December Ivy Box will keep you warm and fashionable in your Tweed Color Block Varsity Cardigan-customize it your way with the 1908 pearl broach, your favorite AKA lapel pin, or patch! And finally, make plans to build your wealth in the new year with your AKA 2022 Planner.

With simple actions, like sending a heartfelt note to a friend of treating your favorite colleague to a brunch, you can put your gratitude out into the world for your friends and loved ones to experience.  Who knows? You may even set off a chain reaction of thankfulness by inspiring them to pass their feelings of gratitude on as well.

As you give thanks for what you have, you can also use this season to help someone in need. Through volunteering and charitable contributions, you can give the incredible gift of gratitude to countless others.

When was your last random acts of kindness? If you cannot recall, there is no greater season to get on that. Buying a stranger a cup of coffee or complimenting the woman behind the checkout counter… these are simple acts that can spark feelings of gratitude within total strangers.

As you take the time to consider all that you are grateful for in this season, think about spreading your gratitude with others. Not only will you bless them, but you will also gift yourself with even more to feel grateful about. This month’s Ivy box will have you enjoying family and good food in style with your Ivy leaf Pointelle Cardigan and Ivy leaf Pointelle Tank. You can also send some love and gratitude this season with a 3-pack set of Holiday Cards!

Reason #2 Music – It only takes a single song to transport you back to those college days. Homecoming is filled with those melodic memories. Even if opting for a virtual homecoming, several schools are offering streaming concerts and other musical events… or you can throw on that college playlist to create your own gym jam right at home.

Reason #3 Good Eating – If you are choosing to head down the road, you can look forward to a weekend filled with some good food. From your good old favorite greasy spoon to the parade of grills outside the football stadium, there will be no shortage of delicious calories.

Reason #4 Supporting your School – The financial challenges of the last few years have also impacted higher education. Your beloved alma mater needs the influx of money that homecoming brings each year. Think of it as a party with a purpose. Support your school while enjoying yourself.

Reason #5 Speaking of Joy – You can never have too much of that in your life. Take the weekend and return to a time when your biggest worry was making an 8am class or getting a ride home from the club. We are all going through a lot right now and you absolutely deserve to feel a ridiculous amount of joy.

This month’s Ivy Box will help you make some decisions about your homecoming outfits. As you get your fashions together, don’t forget your new AKA Salmon Pink Jogger Set. Let us know in the comments if you loved your October Ivy Box!

When you humble yourself and ask for God’s guidance, He will grant you with the wisdom you seek. Even when the world feels chaotic, don’t place your trust in what you physically see and hear. Instead, place your trust in God and trust that He will provide all of your needs. When you keep your focus on God, you will feel the peace and blessed assurance of His promises.

This month’s Ivy box will get you ready for blessings of autumn with your new tweed jacket and tweed hat. Show your support for women’s breast health with your new breast cancer lapel pin. Let us know how you styled the September Ivy Box in the comments below!
