In Residence at Sip & Sonder presents …
The Cypher Sessions with Dr. Byron Young
Join Sonder Impact, Sip & Sonder, and DoingItWell.org as they present Dr. Byron Young’s “The Cypher Sessions,” a space where community, conversation, and culture come together to uplift and empower.
For this installment of The Cypher Sessions, we gather to honor the wisdom, beauty, strength, and power of Black women.
How have Black women shaped our collective resilience and cultural legacy?
What can we learn from their stories of courage, creativity, and care?
How can we elevate, protect, and celebrate Black women moving forward?
Together, we’ll explore these questions in community—unpacking how Black women have been the backbone of movements, families, and futures, often unrecognized, yet always essential.
This powerful conversation will be co-moderated by this month’s brilliant special guests:
Dominic “Dom” Malone – CEO of Arise Wellness and creator of WELLie, a modern-day oracle for well-being powered by AI. Dom bridges ancestral wisdom with contemporary psychology and innovation, holding space for deep dialogue rooted in identity, personal power, and collective healing.
Geminelle Rollins Malone – Artist, producer, and co-founder of Arise Wellness, offering medicine music as the evening’s featured musical guest. Through sound, Geminelle channels intention and healing, grounding us in rhythm and resonance.
This is a space to reflect, honor, and elevate.
Let’s build. Let’s listen. Let’s exalt the brilliance of Black women.
What to bring:
Your mind
Your mobile phone
Your love of music
Come be part of the conversation!
