*Sistah Sinema was created to showcase the nuances of Queer Women of Color culture. It is hoped that the movies will serve as a vehicle to foster honest dialogue on struggles and opportunities unique to Queer Women of Color. While discussion will focus on Queer Women of Color, all members of the Queer community are invited to attend.
Sistah Sinema started in Seattle, WA in early 2011 and expanded to Cleveland in 2012, and currently in over 10 cities across the country and Kingston, JA.
2014 marks the SECOND Kenosha Pride March! This year we are only growing in numbers, strength, and community. Join us as we march from one end of our beautiful downtown area to the other.
