Meet The Sistering!! Lois Deloatch, Lenora Zenzalai Helm, Nnenna Freelon and Kate McGarry @Sharp Nine
Help Us Bring the Sistering to Life — An Album, A Songbook, A Film, A Movement!
What began as a conversation between four friends over tea has blossomed into something much bigger: a dream, a vision, a movement!
We are Kate McGarry, Nnenna Freelon, Lenora Zenzalai Helm, and Lois Deloatch — four accomplished Durham,NC based jazz vocalists, united by a shared belief: that collaboration among women is not only powerful, but essential.
Together, we’re creating The Sistering — a first-of-its-kind project featuring:
An album of 11 original and reimagined songs
A songbook of our original compositions
A short documentary that captures our creative process and the spirit of sisterhood
A movement that celebrates women uplifting women, creatively and soulfully
As Toni Cade Bambara reminds us,
“Sister(ing) is a verb.”
And so, we’re taking action — by showing up, standing strong, and telling a new story: one where women champion each other. We are kicking the proverbial narrative to the curb that says “Women don’t support one another.”
