What is The Sisterhood Sit Down?

The Sisterhood Sit Down is an 8-week, therapist-led support group designed to create a soft, affirming space for high-achieving Black women to rest, reconnect, and release the emotional weight of always being “the strong one.”

Led by a licensed therapist associate with collaboration with other black therapist, this experience offers a guided space for participants to explore topics like burnout, boundaries, rest, identity, and emotional healing—all within a supportive community of women who get it.

Each session blends therapeutic discussion, reflection, and sisterhood. It's not therapy—but it is deeply healing.

This space was created because too many Black women are suffering in silence—overworked, emotionally depleted, and without spaces where they can simply be without judgment or pressure.

Your donation helps make this experience accessible to more women by covering participation costs, resources, and tech support—ensuring no one is turned away because of finances.

Why Is This Support Group Needed?

As a Black woman, therapist, and someone who has walked the line between overachieving and emotional burnout, I know what it feels like to carry it all—and still feel like you can’t put anything down. The pressure. The roles. The expectations. The need to be “strong” all the time. Too often, Black women are overextended and under-supported. They pour into everyone—work, family, community—but rarely have a space to just be held. Support spaces like this are out of reach for the very women who need them most.

Black women are often expected to be everything to everyone—strong, capable, and constantly composed. But behind that strength is often exhaustion, burnout, and a deep longing for rest and real connection.

The Sisterhood Sit Down is a therapist-led support group for high-achieving Black women who are ready to release the pressure, reconnect with themselves, and be held in a space where they don’t have to perform.

This group is needed because:

• Too many Black women are suffering in silence

• Access to culturally-rooted mental health spaces is still limited

• Most don’t have a place to just be human—soft, seen, and supported

Your donation directly helps fund access for women who need this support but may not have the means to invest in it themselves.

You're not just giving to a program—you’re making space for a Black woman to breathe, heal, and return to herself.

Why the Name The Sisterhood Sit Down?

The name of this support group was born from two truths:

First, Black women deserve sisterhood—not just friendship, but deep, affirming, culturally rooted connection. A space where you don’t have to explain your exhaustion, where your silence is understood, and your softness is honored. That’s what this group is about. It’s a sacred gathering of women who see each other.

Second, sometimes we need to be invited to sit down—not in shame, but in rest. To pause. To breathe. To stop holding it all and finally let something hold us.

This isn’t a place where you come to “fix” yourself. It’s a space where you come to remember yourself. Together. In community. In stillness. In strength.

Because Black women are tired of being the strong one. And this is the soft landing we’ve been waiting for.
