Woman 2 Woman Celebrating Self Love & Sisterhood

By Malachi Kudura

On Sunday, March 26, 2023 Woman’s Worth presented the 6th Annual Woman 2 Woman Celebrating Self Love & Sisterhood event, held at the World Beat Cultural Center. This event was hosted by Professor Starla Lewis, her daughter Ishe, and the soulful music was provided by DeeJay Dandelion, her granddaughter at the WorldBeat Center in Balboa Park.

Woman 2 Woman is an annual celebration of Womanhood, Self-Love and Sisterhood. Starla Lewis and Ishe provided “Jewels of Wisdom” and “Tangible Tools” through sharing their own personal stories to help women begin to heal, reveal and feel more empowered. Their Woman’s Worth motto is, “The more we reveal the more we heal,” and they are both dedicated to creating safe spaces where women are elevated and celebrated. Women of all ages and nationalities shared their experiences, thoughts and love with each other. They shared personal stories of both tribulations and triumphs, “healing through their revealing.” Attendees laughed, danced, and some of the women even shed a few tears from the overwhelm- ing feeling of sisterhood being displayed.

Host Ishe told the audience, “Women we are almighty, we are remarkable human beings. I wonder why it always seems like it’s always somebody trying to downplay the Godly bodies of us women. In many ways, we’ve been brainwashed to believe we are less powerful than we are.” Ishe continued, “Women, we are so powerful. We have to sit in our power, stand in our power, rest in our power, walk on this planet in our power. Because, for some reason, the powers that be, don’t want us to know how powerful we are.”

Women gave birth to the human race and without them there would be no humanity. We need to honor, respect and protect the mothers of creation. “A movement without women, is a movement not worth having,” famed Pan African writer, historian and professor, Dr. John Henrik Clarke said.
