Talk of Iowa, hosted by Charity Nebbe

Sista Soul Fest is having its fifth annual celebration August 25 at Evelyn K. Davis Park in Des Moines.

The Sista Soul Fest creates a space for women — particularly women of color — to connect, network, encourage, and inspire one another. The event's founder shares the vision she had for the festival and two Des Moines residents and entrepreneurs who have found strength in the Sista Soul Fest community join the conversation.

Later in the hour, Eve Stewart is a Netherlands native and a 2020 alumnae of the University of Iowa. This past summer, she competed in the 2024 Olympic games in Paris where she rowed for Great Britain. Stewart and her teammates brought home the Bronze.

Guests:

  • Loretta Windsor, founder, Sista Soul Fest
  • Glorietta Foley, author, owner, Glo Rose Books
  • Tamara Lynn, Des Moines resident, owner, Abusua Quilting and Fabrics
  • Eve Stewart, 2024 Olympic bronze medalist, Team Great Britain
