This month's feature:
Director Kiri Davis presents her documentary featuring young Black women's thoughts on who we are and how we're seen regarding hair texture, skin color, body shape and more. Featured is a modern day examination of Black children's comparison of identical black and white dolls - based on the seminal work of African American psychologist Dr. Kenneth Clark.

The first day of SISTAOLOGY.

Hello Sistafriends!

Today is the first day of sistaology: the responsible study of and dialogue about the lived experiences of women of African descent... (the dot-dot-dot means this description remains unfinished and evolving - awaiting the wisdom of other sistas!) This blog is my effort to add to the small, but growing, offerings of responsible social commentary on our lives through our eyes. Thank you Dear God for marrying my passions and talents with a great need! Thank you for all the constant influences and inspirations that present in the form of family, friends, strangers and "challenging" people (the latter having always been great teachers for me!). With this blog, I pledge to continue to Pay It Forward. "To whom much is given, much is required." I love you Chloe and Charlee, mom and Treg, and all my sistafriends in body and spirit. AND to my dearest Donnie - your love & support have been truly transformative. I love you dearly and always :-)


and so it is... SISTAOLOGY.
