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.

Where will my money go?
We are raising programming support, like for our Sistar mentorship program, to increase our in-person events and to support our international outreach.
We are also asking for support of our keychain ministry that is spreading love, visibility, and the gift of rest to Black UUs and their allies. Our executive director hand-makes the keychains to spread the joy of Black girlies and to spread awareness of our work. If you missed a chance to get a keychain at GA, please indicate that you would like one sent to you with your donation. Include your address in the note and any special request for charms (suggested donation is $5 for plain charms, and $6 for charm requests)
Both the Executive Director and the Director Emeritus use their own funds to support many of our initiatives.
