Sister Spokesman

Sister Spokesman is a nonprofit event series sponsored by the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder. Now in its 19th year, Sister Spokesman continues to serve African American women in the community with spaces to learn, share, laugh, indulge, and encourage one another.

Community events are a part of the Minnesota Spokesman Recorder’s commitment to our readership. MSR Publisher Tracey Williams-Dillard founded the nonprofit Sister Spokesman to address the often-expressed need for gathering spaces that cater to and celebrate African American women in the Twin Cities.

The afternoon includes a discussion of impactful topics, music, giveaways, shopping, and more. The Sister Spokesman vendor market serves as a commerce hub for Black entrepreneurs to cultivate a consumer base while allowing shoppers to keep their dollars in the community. Our attendance is from 75-100 women every month.
