Starving Artist? Let’s retire the trope. Your time is finite.
You are an artist by nature, but you are a creator by necessity. And Creatives deserve to get paid.
Drop a READY if you need to protect your talent as an asset and I will forward you my Entrepreneurial-Artist checklist. #whatsyourname

We’ve officially hit #4 on the JazzWeek charts! 🎼✨
While we are incredibly grateful for the airplay and the love for The Sistering, this project was never just about the music—it’s about the movement. In architecture, “sistering” is the act of reinforcing a weak joist by fastening a stronger one alongside it. In life, it’s how we show up for one another. To celebrate our climb to the Top 5, we’re inviting you to start your own Sistering Habits.
How to “Sister” Today:
• Amplify the Quietest Voice: In your next meeting or hangout, if someone gets interrupted, bring the floor back to them.
• The “No-Strings” Check-in: Send a text to someone who’s been grinding lately. No “how are you?” required—just a “I see you, and you’re killing it.”
• Share the Spotlight: If you receive a compliment for a group effort, name the person who helped you get there.
• Active Listening: Listen not to respond, but to understand. Sometimes, just being a “parallel beam” for someone to lean on is enough.
The charts tell us people are listening, but the habits tell us the world is changing. Let’s keep reinforcing each other.
Are you in? Drop a ❤️ or tag someone you’re “sistering” with this week below.

Forget the myth of the “isolated artist.” The Sistering was born from the belief that we are more powerful when we stand together. We’ve replaced the “solo-struggle” with a manifesto of Love and Community. By reinforcing each other’s creative beams, we’ve built an enduring musical home where every voice is amplified, not diminished.
Step into our musical home. Start Sistering habits. #LoveAndCommunity #TheSistering2026 #womeninjazz #communityiseverything
Happy Monday from The Sistering! Success is often measured in noise, but we’re learning to measure it in moments of quiet. Savoring the ‘in-between’ today.” #thesisteringproject #sisteringisaverb #savorthemoment #mindsetiseverything
It was quite surreal sitting on the stage with Jill Scott @missjillscott as she received her honorary doctorate from @berkleecollege and was robed as Dr. Jill Scott, now officially our Dr. Sis! So gracious and elegant. She was magnificent! Her words elevated the graduates and she dropped gem after gem. Her mentee @thattrumpetchic was there to actually put the collar on. Sweet!! #womeninmusic #womenmakinghistory #jillscott #berkleegraduation2026

We are officially in the TOP 10! 🥂✨
We are so thrilled to share that our debut album, The Sistering, has climbed to chart position 7 on the JazzWeek Album Chart! This project is more than just music; it is a “sonic fellowship” born from the lifelong friendship of four vocal powerhouses: Lois Deloatch, Nnenna Freelon, Lenora Zenzalai Helm, and Kate McGarry.
Across 12 tracks, we blend jazz, gospel, ballads, and folk to celebrate life, family, and the power of sisterhood. As Nnenna says, this collaboration has been the “most soul satisfying artistic connection”—and we are so grateful that you’re feeling that connection too.
How you can support the music: • Stream it: Available now on all major platforms. • Bring it home: Purchase the album on CD or Vinyl to experience the full warmth of these recordings.
Thank you jazz radio and jazz listeners for helping us reach this milestone! 🎤🙌

Choose Joy. Choose Gratitude. Choose Peace. Be Love. I just needed to take a moment to express full appreciation for this moment. I found myself amongst these flowers recently and thought how amazing it feels to be alive and have the privilege to breathe and enjoy the Light. ❤️
