The Sisterhood Community is a members based group for Black and racialized women that includes in-person & virtual discussions on social and health topics, a monthly virtual drop-in, and a private members group chat.
The virtual gatherings (4 per year) will provide safer spaces to explore these topics without judgement. Sessions will be moderated by Naïka Thomas or in partnership with a guest expert to facilitate meaningful learnings and conversations.
The in-person meetups (4 per year) will take place in Ottawa throughout the year. These informal gatherings offer members a chance to connect, learn about one another, and deepen their relationships.
The monthly drop-ins is a grounding space where members can come together to check in, hold space, and support one another.
There’s no set agenda—just a gentle invitation to show up as you are and share what’s on your heart or mind.

This community is for Black and racialized women and gender diverse folks.
-
Operating this community comes with costs — including website hosting, Zoom platform fees, and payment processing charges.
A considerable amount of time, effort, and Black labor has gone into developing QueensConnected events and the Sisterhood Community. One of our core values is the equitable compensation of Black and racialized labor — a principle that remains far from reality in society and many workplaces.
That said, we do not want finances to be a barrier to participation. Payment plan options are available above, or you can reach out to queensconnected@gmail.com to access the Pay What You Can option for the Sisterhood Community or in-person events.

Quarterly Membership
Quarterly membership provides access to the Sisterhood for three months at a time, allowing members to participate in conversations, gatherings, and community experiences throughout the season.
This option is ideal for women who would like to experience the Sisterhood before committing to a full year.
Quarterly memberships renew every three months unless cancelled before the renewal date.
Yearly Membership (Best Value)
Yearly membership offers the full Sisterhood experience for the year and provides the best overall value.
Members who join yearly benefit from continuous connection, deeper relationships within the community, and uninterrupted access to gatherings and conversations throughout the year.
-
Yes. Quarterly memberships can be cancelled before the next billing cycle. Yearly memberships provide the best value for those who plan to participate throughout the year.
