SUMMARY:Festival of Sisterhood: Tales from the Throne III
DESCRIPTION:Get tickets HERE. \nA multi-facet traveling festival celebrating Feminenergy and Sisterhood of ALL women through music\, art\, business\, comedy\, and more. \nFestival of Sisterhood is an endeavor to celebrate Feminenergy and Sisterhood of ALL women through the avenues of music\, art\, business\, education and community built on the five pillars of wisdom\, intuition\, empowerment\, authenticity\, and inclusivity. Join us for a multi-artist music and comedy lineup\, happy hour mixer\, women-owned business vendor market\, art exhibition\, and more! Join us on Saturday\, October 11th for the third iteration of Tales from the Throne featuring performances by Alexus Cokley\, Aubrielle Mills\, Cat Littlepage\, Kristi Casey of Mayberry Wine\, and Special Guest Sxvxnt. Doors are at 6PM and show will start soon after. \nWhat does it mean to be one of Feminenergy? It is to be one of substance\, deeper than the beauty of what someone may see on the surface of the skin. Regardless of body type or color\, the beauty really shines through in the intelligence\, the passions\, and ambitions. A tiara or ‘S’ on the chest isn’t necessary to prove how strong she is or to define her as a leader. She is one who believes in Love\, but has Love for the self first\, deserves respect of the Heart\, Mind\, Body\, and Soul\, and won’t allow anyone to play games with the Heart\, nor allow deception of the Soul. She is not perfect or flawless\, but it’s her imperfections that make her all the more unique and authentic. Unconditional Love to the core\, Trust\, Respect\, Loyalty and Equality are the most important to her. One of substance\, one who continues to break down walls\, and one who strives to defy stereotypes. She is strong and she is beautiful on the surface but even more gorgeous and stronger in the workings of her Mind\, Heart and Soul. She is of Feminenergy.
