About the episode

While going through a divorce, Robin Shine Maddox realized we need more opportunities to celebrate women. So she started Celebrating Sisterhood, which grew from a gathering of friends into the annual She Shines conference, which is in Philadelphia on November 9. Robin and her She Shines sisters Tracey Calhoun and Lynn Michelle Austin join host Racquel Williams to talk about the conference and share their stories of how they found passion and purpose through their struggles. Then, on Shara in the City, Shara Dae Howard reconnects with drummer Russell Dabney at his old Philadelphia house to hear more about the history of the Village People, from the wild parties they threw in Mount Airy to their new single.
