(ThySistas.com) I’ve always hated the saying, “Ignorance is bliss”. It goes against everything I have seen, been taught, and experienced. Ignorance has never kept a black person alive, not sheltered them from the evils of the world. As a matter of fact, ignorance can get us killed figuratively and literally. ...
(ThySistas.com) My grandmother always told me that what is only known by some will one day be known by all. Mardi Gras is frequented by thousands of people. Mardi Gras in New Orleans has always been complicated for me, and many Black natives from the city. I learned early that ...
(ThySistas.com) There’s something timeless about watching a Black child hold a physical book. The way their fingers trace the cover, the way their eyes widen at a picture or a sentence, the way their whole body leans into the story like they’re stepping into another world. In 2026, when everything ...
(ThySistas.com) Strengthening your energy as a Black woman in 2026 feels like both a return and a rebirth.

(ThySistas.com) I remember having a discussion about the state of the Black Church. There was serious concern with what mega churches have become and the moving away from the local church.

(ThySistas.com) I am from New Orleans. I was born and raised here as were my parents, and elders going back over five generations. We grew up with music and food that was like religion to us, and the city moved to its own culture sound and drum. It was not ...
(ThySistas.com) Recently I saw a young lady in the store. I knew she was disabled and in great pain. So was I. I had been going through a lot with my health challenges. Auto-immune diseases are never the same, and no day is the same. I’ve lost a lot of ...
(ThySistas.com) Who am I? This is a question that haunts many people. It is one that is often dictated by the validation and expectations of others. From the time we enter the world we are told who we are and what we should be. As women this is far more ...
(ThySistas.com) Sisterhood and mentorship are vital for Black women when we begin to discuss culture, and what informs us. We need and deserve to have trusted spaces that are judgement free, corrective when needed, loving, full of wisdom, affirm us, and look like us. The truth is many of us ...
(ThySistas.com) The current state of the United States of America is embarrassing, angering, and frightening. The news is no longer relegated to television and newspapers. To be honest, via our cellphones we know Breaking News real time. Our news outlets are attached to social media so there is no need ...
(ThySistas.com) There is a theory that I heard being discussed on the porch as I was growing up. The elders would say, New Orleans is so different the sun rises in the West and sets in the East. They would continue saying, this is not a city that can be ...
(ThySistas.com) We no longer know what to expect when we turn on the News. We have no idea what madness we might hear when the broadcast begins. In like fashion many hesitate when they open their phone, because we never know what is about to be trending or breaking news. ...
