​With all that’s going on in the world, I knew I had to do something inspired, something healing. Powered by my book, SISTER DAYS—with its "how we got ovah" messages of herstory and hope; genius and grace, truth and triumph across the ages—I invited five of my sisterfriends to join me for a Happy Mother’s Day gift of spirit.
 
Mothers, daughter, sisters, sistas, and sisterfriends, we took time—as women—to celebrate ourselves and our lives.  The Sister Days Mother/Daughter* Sistafest—an intergenerational conversation with audience participation—streamed LIVE for Mother’s Day Weekend on Saturday, May 7, 2022.

Music heard on this week's show:
