About the Event: This year's semi-formal event is anticipated to host 300 attendees, following the success of our 2019 event which saw 200 guests. The evening will feature a celebration of empowerment, healing, and self-actualization through the arts of photography, dance, and fashion. We will honor 50 women who are positive role models and inspirations to our community.

The evening will commence with a social hour, allowing guests to shop with Black women-owned businesses and preview photos of the Unsung Sheroes and the Art of The Reflection/Spirit Dolls from the women who participated in SISTAS Dolled Up Workshops alongside Shalonda Menefee’s Spirit Art Dolls and Art. The main program will start at 6:00 PM with the Visibly Invisible: Unsung Sheroes Award Celebration and Ceremony, featuring creative cultural expressions of African Dance, an honoring of ancestors through a libation ceremony, and a fashion show featuring Queendomwear and SHAMEN Fashion.

This event is funded in part by the Regional Arts and Cultural Council, Collins Foundation, and Northeast Coalition of Neighborhoods.
