VIDEO OF SISTA' JOY
"Harriet Tubman's Mystical Dream!"
Sacred Stories Told with Song, Spirit, and Soul
When Sista’ Joy enters a room, there’s a hush—like the settling of doves. Then, a gentle strum on her guitar… a low, healing tone from her Native American flute… a whisper of Spirit rises as she begins to speak.
She is a Sacred Storyteller, and her stories are not merely told—they are felt.
Also known as Rev. D. M. Foster, Sista’ Joy is an Ordained Interfaith Minister who shares sacred stories laced with scripture, original poetry, hymns, and spirituals. Her voice carries the warmth of a fireside, the reverence of a chapel, and the joy of a soul who has walked with God. With every tale, every note, she opens a doorway for the Divine to enter.
Sista’ Joy’s repertoire of sacred stories is most appropriate in spaces where hearts are open and Spirit is welcome—sacred retreats, ceremonial gatherings, churches, community events, and intimate home circles. Whether she sings a hymn, plays a melody on her keyboard, or drums a heartbeat rhythm into the floor, her storytelling becomes a sacred atmosphere—one you can taste, touch, and carry home in your spirit.
She also offers Sacred Love Storytelling—personalized, poetic renderings of a couple’s love journey, performed at weddings, anniversaries, or vow renewals. These are not just stories—they are blessings set to music, wrapped in reverence, and remembered forever.
Sista’ Joy’s sacred work has touched audiences at Make Music Chicago, the International Festival of Art, the Museum of Science and Industry, and The Smithsonian Institution, etc. She brings with her the heart of a minister, the wisdom of a public servant, and the soul of a mystic. As a former Cook County Commissioner, she has served millions; now, she serves the Spirit in every room she enters.
She is the grateful and humbled recipient of the Miracle-Minded Master Award—her most cherished honor, not for its prestige, but for what it affirms: that her storytelling opens portals to the Divine. It is a sacred acknowledgment of her ability to speak the unseen, to stir the Spirit, and to carry listeners into that luminous realm where healing, revelation, and miracles unfold. It reflects the truth of who she is—one who tells not just stories, but truths wrapped in wonder… messages delivered straight from the Heart of God.
To witness Sista’ Joy is to feel Spirit move. Her stories don’t end when the telling does—they echo… like sacred music in the soul.
“What an inspiration and powerful storyteller Sista’ Joy is! Not only has she inspired and motivated me through her shows; but she has, also, influenced others in lasting ways as well... Her captivating voice and dynamic storytelling style definitely needs to be heard around the world today!”
— Diane Cogar, Author of Please Don’t Forget the Me in Me
“Sista’ Joy is an inspiring, gifted performer. Whether storytelling or singing, she will encourage you from her first word or note. She is a person with a truly kind heart, who recognizes the goodness in others. This shines through in her performances. Her technical solidity is balanced by the sheer goodwill that emanates from her on stage.” — Raisa Stone, Author, Singer, Storyteller, Comedienne
