Reverence for
BlackWomen
Begins with Us.

Every movement begins with the woman who nurtures it. Every legacy begins with the woman who remembers. When Black women are seen, supported, protected, and poured into — the entire community shifts. The children stand taller. The men lead with integrity. The home becomes a sanctuary again.

SISTAH Magazine exists to restore what was lost: the dignity, beauty, softness, and leadership of the Black Woman at the center of the family and the culture.

Your giving makes this restoration possible.

The Saga Continues: Our Identity As A Discussion for the World

Introduction Black women’s bodies have never simply existed in America—they’ve always been dissected, debated, labeled, and controlled. From the moment Saartjie Baartman was paraded through 19th-century Europe as a spectacle of anatomy rather than a human being, the world began its long obsession with turning Black femininity into public discourse. What should have been sacred and sovereign became public property. Our curves, our hair, our skin, our style—nothing was exempt

The Cost of Giving Until Empty: Why Abundance Must Begin at Home

America’s progress is measured like coming from -98 to 0 — still far from the abundance we deserve. We keep pouring from our gourds until nothing is left for our own households, and then wonder why the village is starving. The truth is, scarcity was never meant to be our economic model. What happens when we flip the script — when we plant beside the well, refill our gourd, and teach the next generation to draw?

Bald Eagle Wreaking Havoc on the American People

Two Wings of the Same Bird: Why This System Still Reeks of Captivity

America may wear the eagle proudly, but Scripture warned of a fierce nation that shows no mercy — and history proves it. From Egypt’s first captivity to America’s two wings of the same bird, the system still reeks of captivity. Yet hope remains: like Moses and Esther, a deliverer will rise — perhaps this time, a Black woman.

Facing Myself

There comes a moment in our lives where we are required to look within. We are able to see who we are in efforts to acknowledge, address, and adjust how we show up for ourselves and the people closest to us.

Polygyny: God’s Order or Patriarchal Greed?

Men claim polygyny is “in their DNA,” but is it God’s order or patriarchal greed? From lion prides to Yoruba legends, from Jacob’s rivalry-filled house to David’s lust for Bathsheba, history shows polygyny can bless or break a family. Before you choose this path, ask: is it divine calling, mutual uplift, and provision — or just desire dressed as heritage?

A black woman exhausted with a large Velvet spider on the lamp shade

Matriphagy: When Motherhood Feeds Everyone but You

In nature, the Velvet Spider feeds her children with her own body—a haunting mirror of mothers who give until they vanish. Many women live this quietly, mistaking depletion for devotion. But love was never meant to consume you. Healing begins when you stop feeding others from your wounds and start nurturing from your wholeness. You are not food—you are the source.

Rest is Revolutionary by Ash Authoress

We grew up watching Black women move without pause. Mothers, aunties, and church ladies who carried the world on their backs, always in motion, rarely at rest. Their hustle shaped us, but it also taught us something they were never given space to learn: rest is not laziness. Rest is survival. Rest is power.

El Shaddai: Creator Feminine Hidden in the Name

For centuries, patriarchal society has shaped how we see God—often through a lens that suppresses womanhood and erases Divine Womanhood itself. This imbalance has fueled mistranslations, misinterpretations, and theological silencing of the feminine dimensions within Scripture. One of the most striking examples of this distortion is the Hebrew title El Shaddai (אֵל שַׁדַּי), commonly rendered "God Almighty." Yet beneath this narrow translation lies a far more intimate and femi
