About Us
The SistahFriend Book Club is a live and online reading and networking group for women that focuses on reading and discussing books by or about African-Americans and promoting unity through women empowerment and fellowship. Founded in November 2004 by Tasha Martin, the sisterhood began with four members in Columbia, SC. Currently, the SFBC has branches across the U.S. and in neighboring territories.

Every day, members from across the world meet online to engage in book and self-help chat. Once a month, members of all ages and backgrounds bond as sisters and discuss literary works in intimate settings. Annually, members meet twice, once in January to celebrate the SFBC’s anniversary and again in July to simply celebrate being woman, aptly called the Sistah Getaway.
All branches commit to at least two local and one international community service projects a year.

Mission
The SistahFriend Book Club, est. 2004 in South Carolina, is an international platform which promotes African-American literature

and women empowerment. We meet in intimate groups to discuss monthly readings as well as women’s issues and family and professional topics. Our goal is to create an environment of lively discussion and relaxation, and to build lifelong friendships.

Vision
Our hope is to remain a reputable source of promotion and support for African-American literature by authors of various culturalbackgrounds and to build intimate discussion groups everywhere, appreciating and discussing quality literature as well as the power of unity among women.
