"Let me tell you about this gem in Philly – The Colored Girls Museum. It's like walking into a soul hug from the past, present, and future, all at once. We rolled up there with our Sisterhood Sit-In Trolley tour, and honey, it was a vibe! This place may seem tiny, but it's mighty in spirit. Imagine trying to squeeze our group of 20+ fabulous women into a space – it was tight, but it was right! Every corner of this museum is packed with stories, art, and the kind of energy that makes you wanna snap your fingers and say, "Yes, I see you, sis!" The exhibits? Baby, they're not just exhibits; they're like pages from a diary we all share. Each piece tells a story of struggle, triumph, and everything in between. It's a celebration of our hues, our histories, and our fierce resilience. You feel the ancestors whispering in your ear, sharing wisdom and winks. And the education? You come out knowing more about our heritage, our unsung heroines, and the art that speaks our truth. It's like a lesson in black girl magic, but make it historical and artsy. So, in conclusion, The Colored Girls Museum? It's a must-visit. It's tight in space but limitless in its impact. You leave feeling seen, uplifted, and a part of something bigger. It's not just a museum; it's a movement. A beautifully crowded, soul-stirring, eye-opening movement. Stay fabulous and keep exploring, sis! #SoulScreams #SisterhoodSitIn #ColoredGirlsMuseum"
"It was such a beautiful, beautiful exhibit. So many things to see so many things that are unique. It was welcoming. Comfortable, comfortable and I plan on visiting again soon."
"I visited The CGM on a Friday with a group of friends. I had no idea what to expect. This was one of the most innovative museums I’ve ever attended. The setting in the historic house, the well thought out concepts, and each floor had something special and unique. I actually felt the energy on every floor. I give the CGM a BIG 10. This is a must see for all people of color. We are so special amazing, and awesome. I plan to visit again with another group. Spread the good news! JD NYC"
"In Essence they were on the list of ‘must see places’ in Philadelphia, so an impromptu trip was set in motion. After a late night e-mail was answered, knew the decision made was a good one. When I walked on the grounds, it felt like a sacred, safe and creative space. When I walked through the doors, it didn’t feel unfamiliar or strange. Every room held its own story and place in time, yet they connected at the same time. Since we were listening for ‘her’ voice, the intertwining made sense. The warmth, passion, creativity and care is present in this space. Each artist captured the themes beautifully and how they tied them together, again, was remarkable. Am looking forward to them opening again in March. This time, will bring others with me to experience history, herstory and their story."
