Jody Simms: You know what's funny? A guy came up to me at a party and was like,"We felt SISTASPIN was anti-men." [] The thing is that's not what it is, but it's good that they recognize that it's not a space that's geared towards them. Kayegi: Something that people talk about wanting to do, but never have and are not doing because there's a lot to figure out.
Simms: That's why we focus on putting Black femmes on the lineup and make them the focus of every single thing we do. Simms: I always want to make sure that all shades of Black women, all shades of Black femmes are represented. At times, I see things and I see a certain type of Black girl on the forefront of everything. I wanted the diversity of Black women to be represented and shown, and put on a platform and elevated. I want everyone to know,"You're great at this just the way you are. You can do this. Your art means something."Empowerment seems very important to SISTASPIN as a collective.
