OfSistren

OfSistren has been a dream of my heart what feels like my entire life. I've spoken extensively over the years about how I was bred to be a girl's girl. When I was an adolescent, my mom - then a young women in her late 20s was a part of a group at our church called "The Daughters of Emmanuel." And I couldn't wait to grow up and be involved with that collective because it was a space where 

It was spiritually focused, women's empowerment  - designed to expose church women to things outside of church. That would mean for them to meet other women of like faith but VERY much also other women of like faith ... travel . ... to expose them to some things in life outside of church. I was not a part of this but this is me. Just the exposure to it from afar, just knowing it existed and imagining what was happening within its confines was enough to embolden me.
