The Visibly Invisible Unsung Sheroes Gala is a signature Women’s History Month event of SISTAS Empowerment Corp., dedicated to honoring the extraordinary contributions of Black women whose voices and achievements often go unrecognized. Over the years, it has become a space for celebration, reflection, and empowerment, highlighting the strength, perseverance, and leadership of Black women who have been the backbone of families, communities, and social movements. Through heartfelt tributes, cultural performances, and community engagement,.

This year, we are shifting from recognizing individual women, as we have done in the past, to celebrating and honoring all Women of the Global Majority (Women of Color) in attendance and within our community.  We are expanding our focus to promote solidarity and collective empowerment. By celebrating the interconnected struggles and triumphs of all Women of Color, we aim to amplify their resilience and leadership while maintaining a central focus on the pivotal role of Black women in advancing equity and justice. This inclusive approach underscores the importance of mutual support and collaboration, creating a platform that fosters respect, recognition, and shared progress.

Aligned with the 1803 Fund’s mission to strengthen Black Portland and center Black joy, the gala features art, dance, fashion, poetry, and entrepreneurial showcases that highlight the richness of our shared cultures and stories. By honoring and uplifting these women, we create a space that celebrates their achievements, promotes economic empowerment, and inspires collective action toward a more equitable and inclusive future.
