Atlanta — BET’s We Got You, Sis! brought women from across the city into one room with a single purpose: to pour back into themselves. Hosted by actress and singer LeToya Luckett and moderated by media personality Gia Peppers, the Saturday event transformed a simple afternoon into a masterclass in healing, financial literacy, and the power of collective womanhood.
The event, held on October 25, formed part of BET’s growing slate of empowerment programming that bridges culture, wellness, and entrepreneurship. Curated as a “sacred space” for women to reclaim their joy and restore their power, the day unfolded through a series of themed fireside chats, networking moments, and light-hearted exchanges designed to inspire reflection and renewal.
The morning opened with curated bites, mocktails, and music by Jay Shalé, setting a vibrant tone before Luckett took the stage. In her opening remarks, she reminded attendees that restoration begins with intention — a message that echoed through every session that followed.
The first conversation, Reclaiming Our Joy: Prioritizing Self-Care by Creating a Life That Centers You, featured philanthropist Eudoxie Bridges, lifestyle strategist Christina Rice, and creative executive Modupé Rouse. Moderated by Peppers, the discussion examined how Black women can reclaim autonomy over their time, energy, and emotional well-being.
This was followed by Restoring Our Power: Building Wealth, where Kimberly A. Blackwell, Marty McDonald, and Egypt Sherrod shared strategies for closing the wealth gap through entrepreneurship and financial education. Sherrod, a real estate broker and media personality, spoke candidly about building legacy over luxury — a sentiment that drew applause from the crowd.
The final conversation featured cast members from the BET Tyler Perry Universe — Crystal Renee, Nzinga Imani, and Eva Marcille — who discussed navigating visibility, purpose, and womanhood within the entertainment industry. Moderated by journalist Sharon Lawson, the dialogue balanced humour with honesty, offering a glimpse into the resilience that underpins their careers.
Attendees later shared their gratitude across social media, with creators like @iamalanamarie and @lisakoya celebrating the event’s “phenomenal energy,” from its intentional set-up to the sense of camaraderie among women who arrived as strangers but left as allies.
Through We Got You, Sis!, BET reaffirmed its role not only as a cultural platform but as a community builder — creating spaces where women are not expected to perform strength, but to rest, rebuild, and rise.
