Today we are remembering dear Joni on the 3rd anniversary of her passing, and this week celebrating International Women’s Day, an occasion that was so very close to Joni’s heart. Below are some words from Debbie and Tanya:
“My sister Joni Sledge, was a warrior for the empowerment and freedom of all women to take wings and soar!!! As Sister Sledge we are so inspired by her life of purpose , passion and love. We celebrate her life and legacy and we stand with all women”. Debbie Sledge x
“I just want to do whatever I can to support and encourage women all over the world through the art of song, the power of words and the inspiration of positive images. We are SO much more than bodies and babies (Which we should still cherish). We are sources of great strength, wisdom and ingenuity! We are human beings who deserve to be respected and protected as much as our male counterparts. (We helped to create them after all). Let’s ALL celebrate the achievements of women and raise more awareness about the injustices against so many of us. It’s about Love. It’s about Life. IT’S ABOUT TIME”. Tanya Tiet x

So proud of my FAM!
RIp Joni. LOVE you Ladies!!
Check out John Krasinski with SGN on YouTube for the 2020 Prom he hosted – opening & closing with WE ARE. FAMILY – PITTSBURGH PROUD to have best song back then for City of Champions and NOW! Wonderful to hear you sing a song we all need to keep in our hearts as we fight this evil disease together! My brother works in grocery business and is volunteer fireman, my neice as well as god daughter is cardiac device bio med engineer (alone in her apartment ?) covering hospitals in DC, MD, VA, her younger sister/my neice is in ED of UPMC Children’s Hospital here in Pittsburgh and my husband is retired Pittsburgh police/SVU detective & now a Special Agent in law enforcement investigations with PA AG.
We hold your song close to us – family – generation after generation – you fill the hearts of so many. Thank you. Stay safe and healthy❣️
PS – if you follow Pittsburgh Pirates still I invented the Racing Pierogies!
Girls….you’ve still got it…always love your music.. grew up with it…and it’s just the best.
Hopefully you can one day find your way to Aussie for a gig or 2…
Take extra care in this dystopian world…❤️
