Widen your circle of trust with the SisterScene.
“If we merge mercy with might and might with right,
then LOVE BECOMES OUR LEGACY.”
#AmandaGorman #CreativeJusticeLeader
In SisterScene gatherings, we choose compassion and curiosity over making assumptions and judgments about others.
We keep it real in times of trouble. We share our hospitable spirits. We explore and celebrate our unique, bold, authentic voices.
Music inspiration shared by Lelaina in memory of the brutal murder of George Floyd.
Note that the song and video below commemorates Black people murdered by police. The images, though, are from while they still with us, still very much alive.
Sometimes I need to feel my heart broken wide open. A lot of times it's a song that does that for me. On the anniversary of the murder of George Floyd. Songs connect us to our deepest sense of being human. Together.
This week, it's this cover of Brown Baby by Oscar Brown Jr., sung by Jyvonne Haskin and Chloe Vaught, produced by Saunder Choi. This is deeply holy work. Thank you.

You’re Invited to Join the SisterScene Creative Justice Community
Together we bring curiosity and compassion into relationships
for a powerful creative justice community.
Our collective power strengthens as we
deepen our personal, antiracist education and expression,
and expand our multiracial, LGBTQ+, multicultural connections,
while we work to dismantle white supremacy within OURSELVES
AND in OUR WORLD.

"There is no such thing as a single-issue struggle, because we do not lead single-issue lives. Our struggles are particular, but we are not alone. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities.” - Audre Lorde
