Celebrate 25 Years of Powerful Black Women’s Voices at When Sisters Speak!
A Quarter Century of Spoken Word Excellence
For 25 years, When Sisters Speak has been the heartbeat of Black female spoken word artistry in North America. Founded by Dwayne Morgan, a recent recipient of the Order of Ontario, this powerful showcase has provided a platform for Black women to share their raw, unfiltered stories through the art of spoken word.
The 2025 edition marks a major milestone for this groundbreaking event. Audiences can expect a night of soul-stirring performances as six talented Black women from across Toronto, Hamilton, Edmonton, Los Angeles, and Baltimore take the stage to deliver their truth.
