As a child, Deidre Lambert-Bounds watched her mother, a single mom of 7, work tirelessly to make ends meet. Oftentimes, there wasn’t enough money to make a full rent payment, put gas in the tank to get to work or even pay the light bill. Although Deidre’s mom died when she was just 13 years old, she is forever grateful for the women who stepped in to support and encourage her throughout her life.

In 2021, she held a brunch to honor those women. In 2022, after much encouragement, Deidre created The Spirit of Sisterhood Honoring Turresa V. Lambert as a brunch to honor, celebrate and support women. The goal is to allow others to celebrate a woman who has made a difference in their lives, while also increasing access to financial support for women who are working to better themselves and their lives of their children.

The annual brunch is also a major fundraiser for the organization. Funds raised are donated to Detroit-based organizations that align with our mission. These organizations provide data both anecdotal and qualitative on what funds are used for and how many women are helped.
