Turn your photo chaos into a cherished collection in the Memory Lounge with Sista Shaman

Sista Shaman's Memory Lounge is back! And it's all free. Carve out dedicated time to organize your beloved photos into albums surrounded by fellow memory-keepers, where the only agenda is progress at your own pace in good company. Digital and physical albums welcomed. Bring your own supplies and enjoy a supportive space designed for turning photo chaos into cherished collections.

After such a successful first round this summer, Sista Shaman — a photographer, curriculum designer, jewelry maker and lightworker also known as N'Dieye Gray

wanted to offer the Memory Lounge on regular basis, with dates in October, December, and more to come in 2026.

"We gathered, sorted, laughed, and remembered," she said. "This session was full of stories, sisterhood, and stacks of photos—blurry ones, beautiful ones, and everything in between."

Join her again on Oct. 11 and Dec. 6

Time: 10 AM – 2 PM (stay the whole time or drop in for an hour or two)

Bring a bag lunch!
