In this episode of Living on the B Side, I shine a spotlight on a remarkable grassroots project making waves in the world of art and creativity: Sista Creatives Rising. Join us as we explore their mission to empower marginalized women and gender-diverse individuals, offering them a platform for personal healing and artistic visibility.

Sista Creatives Rising is a force for change, breaking down barriers that historically marginalized individuals in the arts have. I sit down with the dynamic leaders, Amaranthia Sepia and Claire Jones, behind this movement to discuss the transformative power of creativity and the importance of their work in this space with them both sharing where it all started and how they ended up creating their project – from the music angle, of course.

But Sista Creatives Rising isn’t just about creating beautiful art; it’s about fostering a space where personal healing can take place. As our guests explain, the act of artistic expression can be a cathartic and transformative experience. Learn how this organization provides a nurturing environment for marginalized artists to explore their own identities and experiences, leading to profound healing and growth.

Throughout this episode, we also hear about the ‘Art & Mind’ events that Sista Creatives Rising has initiated to increase accessibility and visibility in the arts for creative women and marginalized genders.

Throughout this episode, we also hear about the grassroots charitable art event and virtual gallery art show, “Art & Mind,” which supports creative marginalized women and marginalized genders to share their journeys. This event uses short films, documentaries, entrepreneur features, and speaking engagements from professionals such as therapists and activists to raise awareness about social issues these creatives face.

Join us as we dive deep into their own inspiring stories and by the end of this episode, you’ll be moved by the incredible work Sista Creatives Rising is doing and inspired to support their mission of empowerment and healing through the arts.

Tune in and be a part of the conversation as we explore the profound impact of creativity and inclusivity with Sista Creatives Rising. It’s a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment that you won’t want to miss.
