Sista Soul Fest - NC

In the Year of 9, a year of completion, power, and elevation, we are walking boldly in our divine purpose.
We’ve been blessed with another year to hold sacred space, lift one another up, and speak our truths — unapologetically and in full power.

 

This is our 4th year here in North Carolina, and the energy is louder, richer, and stronger than ever. Another year to support, inspire, showcase, uplift, highlight, and network. Another opportunity to create a meaningful cultural experience and a powerful day for OUR community.

 

Sista Soul Fest NC isn’t new to this — we are TRUE to this.
And this year, we center the Voices of Strength in every woman, artist, vendor, and visionary who shows up.
