The Kin Connection

The Kin Connection is here to help to restore what time, distance, and dysfunction tried to erase.  We create intentional family reunion spaces where families reconnect, honor their lineage, and turn memories into legacy. This isn’t about matching T-shirts and group photos. This is about remembering who you come from and deciding what you pass forward.

The Answer


The Problem

Over the past few decades, family reunions, once a cornerstone of communities, have declined. Generational separation, geographic spread, and loss of the matriarch/patriarch have eroded deep family ties.

  • Nearly 45% of African American adults report feeling disconnected from their extended family.

  • The event planning market in the U.S. is valued at over $6 billion, yet few services address the cultural and emotional needs unique to Black families.

  • An estimated 5 million family reunions occur annually in the U.S., but less than 2% cater specifically to Black heritage and healing.

The Solution

The Kin Connection bridges that gap.

  • Full-service event planning – venues, vendors, activities, and logistics.

  • Legacy-based experiences – genealogy research, oral family storytelling, or conversations.

  • Lineage2Legacy workshops – focusing on generational wealth, communication, future gathering, and unity.

  • Digital tools – virtual reunions, family legacy books, and multimedia memory archives.

“In every conceivable manner, the family is a link to our past, a bridge to our future.”
