 Welcome to DC Sistagirls!

Networking for African-American Professional Women

Sister... Sista... Sistafriend... Sistagirl...

These terms are used to address women we like, respect, admire or feel fondly toward. Let's be honest... there is no other woman in the world quite like a sistagirl!

DC Sistagirls began in August 2000 as an email group for professional African-American women who wanted to connect with other professional sistagirls.  For 8 years we have connected via email and off-line events to build bonds and network with each other. Over 1400 women from cities around the nation have found DC Sistagirls to be their favorite way of connecting with like-minded women.

A DC Sistagirl is a woman who works hard – for herself, for her family and for her business and career. A DC Sistagirl is a woman who is competitive but not ruthless. She never forgets that she is a woman... yes, a lady... while balancing her life dreams and goals with the daily grind of life.

We are women who are not jealous of other women and their achievements. We are women who believe that helping another sista is not robbery – but is, in fact, a way to help ourselves. Contrary to popular belief, we look forward to sharing resources, offering helpful advice and holding each other accountable so that we can all reach our goals.  

Our on-line growth has been explosive and we anticipate that it will continue to be that way. DCSG 2.0 is another step in our journey toward living the lives that we dream, plan and work so hard to have.

DC Sistagirls is a community of women who desire to network with other sistas both professionally and personally. If you are a sista looking to connect with other positive women of color DC Sistagirls is for you!

This website is our virtual clubhouse. Here is where we share who we are and what matters most to us. The possibilities of expression are countless...  Create a blog, have your own webpage, read and post comments in the DC Sistagirls forum... Send audio or video postcards, upload pictures from your vacation or announce your new business project to the world... This is your portal to connecting with other women just like you.

Membership is restricted to African American women. In order to sustain our virtual world, there is a membership fee. The modest fee can be paid monthly or yearly.

The cost is $5 per month or $45 per year. (And includes a 10-day trial period)

(The yearly option gives you 3 FREE MONTHS of membership)

For the price of a good pedicure (or a great steak dinner)... you can join a group of fantastic, dynamic and forward-moving sistas.

Many of our email group members have national profiles and businesses that span the world.  DC Sistagirls has been featured in major publications including Essence magazine, Black Enterprise and The Washington Post.

These women are simply amazing!

Networking is key to positive growth. But no one said it had to be boring and stuffy to be effective. Because we are women who work hard, we also play hard too. We meet off-line to enjoy social activities together regularly. Our activities are as varied as we are – including trips to the Smithsonian museums, brunch, happy hours, exercise classes, shopping trips and more.

DC Sistagirls is an active and exciting group. We believe in the power of "we". So... don't delay any further. Come on in and check us out!

Welcome, Sistagirl!
