Three ways to Be In the SisterScene

You are Invited to Enter the SisterScene.

You choose your own invitations. We have been making beautiful connections since 2021. We are building trusting relationships for cross-cultural solidarity. We in the Power of Playing Together, Getting to Know Ourselves and Each Other Better as a community of fiercely passionate, diverse, inclusive, multicultural women.

There are three ways to plug into the scene for cross-cultural relationship building with us:

• Tune into our positive vibes and engage in community conversations, at house parties, mealtimes that help us all stretch our comfort and learning zones and possibly change long held convictions. Show up. Host. Co-host. Register. Invite us. Off free tickets to share.

• Show up in SisterScene spaces for cross-cultural relationship building at all kinds of cultural, arts, and justice events. Lift up Black, Brown, Women-owned spaces and businesses. Show up with us.

• Connect to our Pep Squad Energy for radical inclusivity on the social scene. Public Schools, Arts,  and Athletics scenes. Please support SisterScene Liaisons in high schools and colleges.

How have we made our vision for Multicultural Social Solidarity real? We have co-hosted dozens of community conversations and co-hosted multitudes multicultural gatherings:

1. we coordinated 25 1619Project book/podcast/docuseries conversations, co-hosted by multigenerational, multidisciplinary women who support equity for all in public education, multicultural arts and girls/trans/women athletics in the SisterScene zoom room and in person in the CityWell hall.

2. we initiated aCreativeJustice Internship Program: high school college students collaborating with elders to design cross-cultural gatherings, multimedia design and public art event engagement with Historic Stagville and Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University and with creative partners Jasme Kelly Lisa Rhodes and at the NC Museum of Art Contemporaries! We raised $300 to create a Queen Creative Crown Honorarium for Veronika  Payne Asha Gupta!!

3. we created leadership opportunities and supportive engagement in justice gatherings for the Jan6 Vigils, BlackLivesMatter, Pride, UU Justice NC, NC Poor People's Campaign : A National Call For Moral Revival Pro-Choice North Carolina Beaver Queen Pageant Group, Benevolence Farm (for whom we raised over $1000) and Color Of Change actions.
