🛍️ SISTAH’S Tip of the Week

As you explore Charlotte over the next two weeks, make intentional space to support Black-owned businesses, creators, restaurants, wellness practitioners, and entrepreneurs.

Consider visiting:

• Mert’s Heart and Soul

• Shelves Bookstore

• Freshwaters Southern New Orleans

• R&R Soul Food

• Lula’s Cafe

Because every dollar spent intentionally helps strengthen our community, preserve culture, and create opportunities for future generations.

Until next time, Sis—stay connected, stay inspired, and we’ll see you around the Queen City. ✨

This version is much closer to the polished SISTAH Magazine editorial style than the raw event list and should drop directly into the website with only minor formatting adjustments.

🌿 Closing Note

We hope you found something that excites you and aligns with what you need in this season. Wherever you go, may it nourish your mind, uplift your spirit, and remind you that Charlotte is full of spaces created for you to take up space.

Go explore, connect, and pour back into yourself. The Queen City is waiting, Sis
