What is the group structure?
The purpose of this group is to provide a safe and supportive space for women of color.
How do I know if this group is right for me?
A Sistah’s Voice is for all cis and trans women of color, as well as non-binary people. The discussion group is centered on the experiences of the participants. In this space, we hope to cultivate a sense of community in which one feels comfortable in gaining and giving support through the discussion of topics chosen by the group participants.
Do I have to share?
Yes, this group is heavily focused on the sharing of experiences. While you may not share extensively in every group, the more you share and participate, the richer the experience for you and others.
