We are on our way to Sierra Leone!!

The Sira journey continues, and on June 6th we gather for an unforgettable afternoon celebrating the mask traditions, culture, and spirit of Sierra Leone.

We’re excited to announce a very special guest performance by the Liberian Women’s Chorus for Change. Their powerful voices and inspiring presence will add another layer of meaning to this unique cultural experience.

This encounter holds special significance as we honor the strength, wisdom, beauty, and legacy of Black women. We invite all women to wear white as a symbol of unity, grace, and celebration.

Sira had its first breath last weekend… and what a moment it was.

What started as a dream… a vision… a calling… is now something we can see, feel, and share.

To witness a vision rooted in culture, history, and spirit come alive in real time, it’s hard to even put into words.

This is bigger than an event. This is preservation. This is storytelling. This is legacy!!

We are grateful for every person who showed up, poured in, and felt it with us.

See you on May 2nd for Mask in Motion : Mali.
