“Sistahs Black Like Me”

Catch It This Time! 

See Yeah

Review!

On Saturday July 27^th, at the Poets’ Den in East Harlem, “Sistahs  Black Like Me” produced “ Bridges”. Sistahs Black Like Me’s producer Clarke Clark, and others are creating theatrical creative outlets for Sisters and Brothers. If we do not initiate, we do not exist. As we lose physical spaces, houses, institutions, it is imperative that we create new spaces for ourselves.  What a wonderful platform “Sistahs Black Like Me” has created, for us to produce and work together using theatre techniques, dance, poetry, and spoken word. The singers were so natural, singing without musical instruments, being voice and the musical sound. The “Violin Diva” was awesome. In fact the whole cast was incredibly rich in their creative abilities.

Venues like this are needed. These are spaces for us to be who we are; Nubian queens and kings. They shared their talents and life experiences.  It was truly community art. It was elevating. They are our griots doing healing work, expressing and speaking the unspeakable. I took the show home with me.  I look forward to the next “Sistahs Black Like Me” production.
