Introduction-Welcome to Sister Sound Off

Welcome to SisterSoundoff, where African-American women and men gather to share their thoughts and prospective regarding issues most important to them as inhabitants of the U.S.
This site is dedicated to the open and candid discussion of not only the things about which one might be agitated and confused, but also those things that people are truly satisfied with; components of their lives that they believe are better for having lived in the United States of America.

Discussions will center on politics, religion, education, economics, African-American relationships, or whatever your heart desires. In addition, we certainly believe that there is much knowledge to be gained by opening discussions to include, African persons from the continent of Africa (no matter the country) who have settled here in America, or Africans who now reside in any other country. I think we need the insight of those whose experiences are so closely related to our own, yet simultaneously, so unrelated.

Sistersoundoff believes that a free exchange of ideas and discussions as they relate to our present position in this country is imperative if we desire to ever move forward. We believe African-Americans should take responsibility for our own lives, futures, and the futures of generations to come. We need a clear understanding of why our notion that Martin and Malcolm solved the issues of Black America is a fallacy. For many reasons, we believe that they fought the good fight for us and now we can simply relax and enjoy the ride. Think again!

On a weekly basis, Sistersoundoff will accept any intelligent discussion ideas via our site inbox. A moderator will then choose a topic, and we’ll….. sound off! It’s that simple. This site is no dictatorship. We are not here to tell you what to do or think we’re merely asking you to think….and then possibly, do based on your own conclusions.

Additionally, we would like to warn you that this site is not for the squeamish; we keep it real!

Peace,

Chyna
