Welcome!

SISTUHS was conceptualized in the fall of 1992 by a group of young, black women who felt strongly that women of color at Florida State University lacked an organization that addressed their needs as a whole. There needed to be an alternative that would help young, black women understand what it meant to be black and a woman in this society. These young ladies felt that there was a need to establish an organization where women of African Descent would be able to discuss and implement programs that would contribute to the uplifting and well-being of the community. Founders Akiba Jackson and Germaine Smith molded their words into actions, later establishing the preamble and constitution of the organization, SISTUHS, Inc.
