ABOUT US
SISTALLECT, INC.
Sistallect, Inc. has a simple purpose --- to empower women of color, particularly Black Women, in a meaningful way! Our mission is to improve the lives of women and girls by developing programs and projects that will build, elevate and promote our intelligence and positive image.
Our signature initiative is the State of Black Women in California, which is a annual report that focuses on the current quality of life status for Black Women and Girls. The report develops a strategic policy platform and action plan to serve as a road map for policy makers, advocates, community based organizations and funders.
In addition, Sistallect, Inc. partners with organizations to build communities that are marginalized and economically disadvantaged. These efforts are designed in a collaborative manner to extend Sistallect's reach and our impact.

Sistallect, Inc. Launches #BlackWomenGive
Sistallect, Inc. launches a digital giving circle platform #BlackWomenGive. Black women across the country are joining together to create a virtually donation pool to establish a Giving Circle to impact true and meaningful change particularly for Black women and girls. As part of this coalition of Black Women, we want to target organizations that directly provide needed support.
Our sister circle of giving will employ our social economic power to give to organizations. Our Call to Action is to have Black women donate directly to selected organizations based on the giving campaign in order to provide immediate and real time support. We are also encouraging our sister friends to post this initiative on their social media channels and share with their networks and with the hashtag #BlackWomenGive. We want to see this go viral with all the Black women sororities, service organizations, leaders and officials to join in on the campaign.
