Sistah Friends Project

Sistah Friends is an international arts initiative that recognizes and celebrates that the African diaspora spans the world. Using contemporary art practices, we form bonds and communities with our sistahs at home and abroad. Through self-portraiture and oral narrative projects, Sistah Friends creates a multimedia platform for honest and autonomous productions and reproductions of black women. The aim is to collaboratively reimagine, repoliticize, and recontextualize the black female form in order to salvage a complex history and to strengthen connectivity.

So I’m in London visiting a friend right now and the muggy weather has encouraged me to stay in a bit and do one of my favorite pastimes: watch tv! I’ve been watching the UK music video channel and I’m loving it because in the US we barely have music video channels on basic cable. While watching I was amazed by Emeli Sandé! Check out her powerful voice:
