About Us

Sister Souurce, Inc. is the first and only organization dedicated to Black UU women, girls, and femmes. We are a 501 (c) (3) Non-Profit based in Atlanta, GA, with virtual ministries that span the US and Africa (for now!). We have in-person opportunities coming to Atlanta and Delaware, to start, in early 2026. Our flagship events center Black, femme-identified community. We create spiritually expansive, Black-centered spaces that speak to those from various faith traditions and relationships to spiritual life. We believe in freedom, fun, and friendship.

We also host events that welcome allies and wider audiences to celebrate Black joy alongside us. Sister Souurce enters its next chapter fueled by clarity and courage, with Elder Qiyamah Rahman serving as Emeritus, and Rev. Crystal Saiyge stepping in with new visionary and adaptive leadership. We build upon a sacred legacy while opening new pathways for community building, storytelling, mentorship, international connection, etc.

We have individual memberships based on covenant, community, and conviction.

We also have congregational memberships that have access to extensive resources through Sister Souurce Media.

Both memberships will find worship-ready resources (even if that is just a playlist for your morning commute), fresh podcast episodes in your inbox, and mentorship. The mentorship also comes with funding opportunities for your various goals through our Sistar-to Sistar (peer-based) program, or our Sistar-to-Sistarlings (elder to young person mentorship) program.

Last but not least, our global partnership with UU congregations in Kenya affords US-based UUs and other allies to have cross-cultural connections and impact. We work with the council of churches of the UU Church of Kenya (UUCK) that encompasses six regions and 40 congregations. It is an exciting opportunity to cultivate a living tradition of resilience and liberation!

We honor the ancestors whose shoulders we stand on, while nurturing the next generation of leaders and voices in our movement.

Opportunities to Sow:

We are only four years old! We are so grateful for the generous grant support, but now we are in a phase of capacity building and long-term stability.

We accept in-kind donations for administrative tasks, internet for Kenya, etc.

Where will my money go?

We are raising funds to increase our programming, so we can continue showing up for you. At the moment, this community-based ministry is running on an executive director's part-time appointment paired with full-time hustle. Now, imagine what we could do with fully-compensted support!!!!! We want the bucket to overflow into the community, just as we already personally Sow Seeds in the sistas we share in our newsletter.

We have programming planned for every month next year, including The Vagina Monologues in the Spring (rewritten to prioritise Black and Queer voices), Global Worship Services (with our pilot being hybrid in Africa), and Circle Dinners that allow members to become leaders and host hybrid or local dinners. We provided programming this year at GA in June, October, and November.

Pass the Plate at Your Congregation

Did you know that UU congregations have a tradition of Passing the Plate to support aligned projects and organizations? A message is shared with the congregation about the cause before the offering and then it is sent to the organization. We have made a kit for you if you would like to know how to approach your faith community. This is also a simple download that you can forward to them.

This Pass the Plate Kit has language, images, and full instructions.

It is called The Pass the Peas Kit after the song Pass the Peas by The JB's (James Brown and his band).

Listen to Pass the Peas on YouTube, for fun!
