We are thrilled to announce the This Woman Knows (TWK) Grant recipient for the September–October round: Cookout at the Vineyard, founded by Tahlia Suggs.

Cookout at the Vineyard is more than an event — it is a cultural reclamation. Rooted in joy, hospitality, and representation, this experience brings together food, music, community, and connection in a setting where Black and Brown excellence is centered and celebrated.
This round reminded us once again how much brilliance women are building across the country. Choosing just one recipient is never easy, but Cookout at the Vineyard captured the heartbeat of this season — joy as community, joy as resistance, and joy as legacy.
Founder Tahlia Suggs shared:
“These funds will go directly into the grant fundraising efforts to continue the planning and execution of Cookout at the Vineyard. Every contribution moves us closer to creating a safe, celebratory space where our community can gather, connect, and be fully seen.”
We are honored to uplift her work, support her vision, and stand beside the legacy she is cultivating.
Congratulations to our newest TWK Grant recipient.
