Greetings Sisters and Allies,
Welcome to the SLSV Sisterhood News. I know that the results of the election were not what we expected, to say the least. To say that we are disappointed with the Presidential result is an understatement. We are the backbone of the country, are deemed the voice of reason and sound judgment, and yet we are ignored when we raise our voices on concerns that need to be addressed. That being said, Election night did see historic and significant wins for black women! From history-making US Senate wins to important re-election wins, black women continue to defy the restricted limitations placed upon us. Finally, we thank our inspiring Vice President Kamala Harris for inspiring a new generation of leadership and, for her work as Vice President, and for a truly incredible campaign. We are so proud you Madam VP!
