Three ways to Be In the SisterScene

You are Invited to Enter the SisterScene.

You choose which Doorway?

We have been making beautiful connections year-round in an ever-changing community where teens, women and the whole gender spectrum of folks of many colors and backgrounds embrace, practice, and learn to spread the impact of cross-cultural solidarity.

The SisterScene is calling all people into our multicultural community spaces: in art galleries, theatres, online, on the sidelines, at restaurant tables and in each others’ homes. We are led by multigenerational LGBTQ+, BIPOC and disabled folk of many faiths to embrace and practice Abundance, Freedom of Identity, and a Creative Justice Mindset. 

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

1) CREATE positive vibes and engagement in community conversations that help us all stretch our comfort and learning zones and possibly change longheld convictions. Show up…register…

2) CREATE space for cross-cultural relationship building in arts, justice with Black, Brown, Women-owned spaces and businesses. Show up with us.

3) CREATE PepSquad Energy for radically equitable, inclusive Public Schools, Arts,  and Athletics. Support SisterScen Liaisons in high schools and colleges. Show up with women for moms, grands who can’t make it to the concert/game, equal pay, childrens’ and school workers’ rights actions. Register…

How we've been making Our Vision for Multicultural Social Solidarity Real since 2020? We have held dozens of community conversations and multicultural gatherings:

1) including 25 1619Projectbook/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 CityWell.

2) we initiated a CreativeJustice 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. 

And hooray for our fiscal sponsorship with Vimala Rajendran and Vimala's Curryblossom Café and Foundation has been divine support, warm food, beautiful new t-shirts and a true creative partnership!!

Holy wow, there are so many different ways to explain what people on the sisterscene have been doing this list is not the whole story. There's our partnership for engagement in art, warm meal sharing and radical community conversations and contemporary cross-cultural education with @from here to equality @sandy darity @kirsten mullen, The Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History and with Gilbert King and SisterSong and Loretta J. Ross!!
