Book Review: “The Light We Carry” is a Lesson in Realness.
(ThySistas.com) “Becoming” was an amazing book that so many were able to connect to. As Former First Lady Michelle Obama shared her life with us, the readers, we gained wisdom and strength from her.

Changing How We View Wash Day.
(ThySistas.com) I love my hair. It is apart of what makes me who I am. It is break comb thick, long, and has its own unique color that I simply adore.

Living with a hair stylist that specialized in hair care and growth has it’s... [Read more of this review]

Drake: Sis Are You Surprised.
(ThySistas.com) Hip-Hop is going through a lot at the moment. Every time we look up, it seems, there is another reason to say R.I.P., we’re shaking our heads because we don’t know what Ye is going to say next for those that still pay attention, and no it seems Drake wants to diss sistahs in his passive aggressive way.
