ATTEND OUR NEXT IN PERSON EVENT
Power of Interracial Sisterhood: Closing the Space Between Us
A rare evening where women talk honestly about what matters, with women who don't look like them, in beautiful Sausalito, CA on Monday, July 20, 2026
Visual artist, author, and storyteller Anita Gail Jones, and Karen Fleshman, founder of the Interracial Sisterhood Coalition, name the dynamics beneath the surface in everyday interactions between women of color and white women, and specify subtle shifts that go a long way to build trust.
Then, together, we'll watch and talk through role plays to turn the abstract into something you can see and feel
Curious about interracial sisterhood?
Uniting women across difference
to secure our collective safety and freedom
To every woman- including trans women- feeling the weight of these times: You don't have to carry it alone. There’s a community ready to lock arms with you.
Find the hope, courage, and sisters you’ve been looking for in the Interracial Sisterhood Coalition.
The Interracial Sisterhood Coalition creates safe, generative, opt-in spaces outside of the workplace for women of all ethnicities and generations.
We listen to each other’s stories so that we can learn to relate across difference as equals.
How You Can Get Involved
Inperson events and retreats: Come be in the room. Evenings on the Bay, gatherings in Brooklyn, and retreats in beautiful places. This is where interracial sisterhood stops being an idea and becomes women you know.
Women in Boston, Detroit, Chicago, and Texas have written to ask how to build interracial sisterhood in their own communities. If that's you, tell us. We're building the training and support to help you start a circle where you are.
For white women ready to unlearn racism and build real trust across difference: Toward Sisterhood, a six-month program with live teaching, coaching, and a small group that holds you with care.
Support for Organizations: You can hire us to facilitate powerful, inclusive women’s events and support you through a challenging relational or organizational moment.
What is interracial sisterhood?
A lifelong, embodied practice of women of different ethnicities and generations respecting and supporting each other and making change together.
"Ignoring the differences of race between women and the implications of those differences presents the most serious threat to the mobilization of women’s joint power.” — Audre Lorde
“The connections between and among women are the most feared, the most problematic, and the most potentially transforming force on the planet.” — Adrienne Rich
We counteract hundreds of years of "divide and conquer" by guiding women to love ourselves and see, hear, respect and celebrate our differences and our common humanity.
Why is interracial sisterhood needed now?
Black women have been telling white women to unlearn their racism so that all women could unite and stand together since Black women in the United States first began organizing for women’s rights nearly 200 years ago. Today, women remain divided along racial lines, even in organizations and employee resource groups dedicated to advancing women’s interests. Women of color create spaces for their growth and healing, that frequently includes time apart from white women. White women create spaces for women’s empowerment that women of color often don’t feel safe in, so they don’t participate.
The Interracial Sisterhood Coalition is needed to bring women together across difference at a time when we need each other tremendously.
We refuse to pass the work of healing racial divides among women to future generations.
