Suzetta Perkins and
Pamela Smith founded the Sistahs Book Club in April 1999.
The group began with a membership of 10 women and today, 15 women
make up the group. Each month the women come together to
share and discuss ideas, philosophy, and interpretations of the
books chosen for reading. The club reads a diverse group of
authors with the main foci being African-American authors.
The types of books read cross a wide genre to include
biographies, mysteries, social issues, conflict and crisis, to good
sister-girlfriend novels.
Suzetta and Pam started
the book club to bring positive people together who wanted to be
part of a positive experience and enjoyed reading. The book
club is a place to let your hair down, express ideas and feelings
freely, and bond together as sisters while increasing ones
intellect and sharpening the mind.
The Sistahs Book Club is
involved in community service activities. The club visits
quarterly an adopted rest home to read, sing, and spread Sistahly
love and warmth to the residents. They also have
participated in a 5K run/walk in support of the Rape Crisis Center
of Fayetteville to helping victims of both hurricane Floyd and
Katrina.
The Sistahs' motto is Knowledge
and Empowerment."
