Cinematic Sisterhood: She Rises Up

The WF is proud to sponsor Cinematic Sisterhood, a new film series amplifying the voices of women in the film industry and beyond. In partnership with Milwaukee Film, this series shines a light on women as directors, producers, editors, actors, and critics… bringing gender equity to the big screen.

The series kicks off with She Rises Up, a powerful documentary by Maureen “Mo” Castle Tusty that follows three women entrepreneurs fighting poverty through business ownership. A post-film panel will explore local entrepreneurship, funding access, and how we can uplift women-owned ventures right here in Milwaukee.

Panelists include:
Mo Castle Tusty, Director
Angela Mallett, Honeybee Sage Wellness & Apothecary
Kathryn Dunn, WWBIC
LaShawndra Vernon, Pryme Solutions

The night’s moderator is Stephanie Melnick of She Stands Tall.
