THEY/THEM SIS NIGHTS are passionate and dedicated event organizers who are committed to creating safe and inclusive spaces for the queer community. With a deep appreciation for the power of music and its ability to bring people together, They/them Sis Nights strives to curate events that celebrate the diversity of queer identities and musical genres.

Having recognized the need for spaces where queers can freely express themselves and enjoy a wide range of music, they have made it their mission to create inclusive environments that foster a sense of belonging and acceptance and celebrate the diversity of our community.

By carefully selecting a variety of musical acts and genres, they ensure that there is something for everyone, catering to different tastes and preferences within the community. With a strong commitment to creating safe spaces for queers and a genuine love for music, They/them Sis Nights will continue to make a significant impact, providing opportunities for connection, celebration, and empowerment through the power of music. They have a new event coming up February 24th, Afrobeats Party & Vibe for Queers Round 2. We welcome to the show, Black Pace (she/her) one of the Producers of They/Them Sis Nights.
