Whatcha doing Saturday at 10 am?

Happy Friday! ☕

Pssst....We’re trying something new, and I’d love for you to be part of it.

On Saturday, March 7, 2026 at 10 AM, we’re launching Tea @ 10, a quick 10-minute Instagram Live where we pour a little tea and talk about real questions teen girls are facing today.

Think of it as a tiny kitchen-table conversation….just happening on Instagram.

The goal is simple: give our teen Sugars a little boost: some encouragement, wisdom, and a few virtual hugs to power them through the week ahead.

You can join from home, the Costco parking lot, the barbershop, or the salon. Just grab your favorite teacup and tune in.

• Join us on Instagram: @AskYourAuntea
• Every Saturday at 10 AM — Tea @ 10 (just 10 minutes!)

Everyone knows Aunteas and Uncles give the best advice. So set a reminder, warm up the kettle, and sip with us.

With love and laughter,

Auntea M □

Thank you for helping us build the next wave of confident, ethical decision-makers.

We’re Back In Person — Thanks to You!

Dear HTS Family,

We’ve got BIG news to spill — and it’s steeped in love and gratitude.

Thanks to your end-of-year support and a grant from Events DC, High Tea Society is launching a brand-new in-person program for DC girls starting this February.

2026 T3 Teen Tea Talks Program

A real seat at the table for 20 teen girls (ages 13–18) to share, reflect, and lead.

They’ll join us two Saturdays a month to:

• Talk through real-world choices
• Create content that helps other girls make smarter decisions
• Help shape our Simi chatbot & Ask Your Auntea videos
• Launch a new digital story series: Simi’s World □

This is our first in-person program since the pandemic — and we’re excited to be back where the tea is best: together.

We’re so grateful for your support. Your donations help us bring powerful, relevant programming to girls who deserve it.

It's Giving Tuesday!

Hello, dear friends of High Tea Society,

Today is Giving Tuesday, and before I share the beautiful moments from this year, I want to ask for your support right up front. Your generosity helps us keep pouring TEA—Tools for Excellence & Achievement—into DC’s teen girls.

SUPPORT HTS TODAY

Please consider helping in one (or all!) of these ways:

YOUR SUPPORT IS IMPORTANT

Now I would like to let you know why your support is meaningful.

All year long, we’ve been reminding DC’s teen girls that they are seen, valued, and worthy of trusted guidance. And if there’s ever a day to fuel that kind of love-driven work, it’s today.

A MOMENT THAT SAYS IT ALL

At one of our seven pop-up events this year—after meeting more than 300 girls—a student at Bard High School said,

“The Aunteas in your videos remind me of my Auntie. It feels like they’re talking right to me.”

Another wondered why some girls “act out,” even when they’re loved at home. She hoped Simi, our digital Big Sis, could help girls understand they don’t need attention from harmful influences.

Moments like these are why HTS shows up.

WHY SIMI MATTERS

Simi is our digital Big Sis, trained on the lived wisdom of 40 Aunteas and Uncles. At a time when harmful content spreads fast, she offers something rare: grounded guidance, honesty, and judgment-free support—right inside a girl’s phone, 24/7.

WHAT YOU HELPED MAKE POSSIBLE

Thanks to you, and support from Events DC and the DC Commission on the Arts, HTS created:

• 40 Ask Your AunTea podcast episodes (Spotify)
• 50 video shorts featuring Simi & our Aunteas/Uncs
• 32 blog posts written for teen girls
• A live beta Simi chatbot, trained on 32 mentor interviews
• 7 in-person pop-ups, reaching 300+ girls
• Record engagement on IG & TikTok

Every piece of content strengthens our mission: helping girls make ethical, empowered decisions in real time.

COMING IN JANUARY 2026

We’re launching a free Saturday program at Second Baptist Church and recruiting 20 teens to help shape our videos, podcasts, and the Simi chatbot.

THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR VILLAGE

Your gifts, your shares, your encouragement — they all help surround our Sugars with the loving guidance they deserve.

Thank you for believing in our Sugars. And thank you for pouring into this work with your heart, your resources, and your faith in the power of a well-placed story.

With love and gratitude,

Mariessa Terrell, HTS Director
