We did it

The aim is to raise enough funds to allow 100 women to attend the festival free of charge & commission facilitators and artists.

There are few spaces available to women, especially of the African diaspora, who face sexism and racism, where they can discuss and share their experiences and celebrate their achievements. 

This festival is a safe space for black Pan-African women from across the country to explore issues about, mental health, well-being, arts, entrepreneurship, and community issues.  It is a safe space to be unapologetically themselves, speak out and loud, share experiences, celebrate and inspire each other in becoming the best versions of themselves. This is a lifetime opportunity to meet and bond with other sisters, build personal and business linkages here and abroad.  

We invite motivational speakers and successful women in business, voluntary sector to come and speak about their achievements and experiences, share knowledge and talk about their journey.  

With workshops to explore self-image, self-love their mental and physical health and entrepreneurship. Discussion groups on issues and practices and barriers black women face in their communities and meet new people and widen their network. There will also be an opportunity for the ladies to showcase or sell/ display their products/services. 

With a fully funded project, we will be able to pay for the venue cost including lunch, commission artists, panellists, workshop facilitators, musicians and poets for a day-long festival on Saturday 23rd November as part of our Sisters Talk series.  

Keynote: Yumetta T. Beysolow, MSW, MBA Certified Speaker, Coach & Trainer
