WPGC's 19th Annual For Sisters Only 2018 was on and poppin' at the Renaissance Washington Saturday night!

 

 

After Shack 'nd Pack kicked things off, MC Lyte, 702, Ari Lennox, Be'la Donna and Y'Anna Crawley hit the FSO 2018 stage, and the ladies came out in full force to shop, get glam, link up with WPGC's on-air talent, and catch the performances.

Our Sista Sit Down, hosted by Poet, featured celebrity financial coach Lynn Richardson, along with "Real Housewives of Potomac" stars Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby.

And of course, WPGC commemorated World AIDS Day. Watch Joe Clair share a personal story with Guy Lambert to raise awareness about HIV and AIDS:

First up on the FSO lineup was a tribute to the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, performed by singer Y'Anna Crawley...

...followed by Dreamville recording artist Ari Lennox, who performed hits like "Night Drive" and "Whipped Cream."

Ari shouted out J. Cole and Dreamville backstage with Adimu.

Then R&B girl group 702 gave us throwback vibes with a killer performance with synchronized moves.


The vibe is too real!! We are TURNT here at #FSO2018!!!

702 talked female empowerment with Poet, thanked their fans and shared their best advice for the hustle.

Next up was legendary lyricist MC Lyte, who took the time to thank her longtime fans in the audience.

Backstage, Lyte reflected on her hip hop career, discussed what's next and revealed the one time she's ever been nervous to perform. 

(And then things got wild.)

Closing out our all-female For Sisters Only lineup was Be'la Dona, bringing that big band energy and go-go to the show!
