Earning a doctorate doesn’t begin or end with the degree. It’s a journey that begins when you’re in the trenches of coursework and writing, and it’s a journey that doesn’t end once you have letters behind your name.
It’s a process of becoming.
Who you are when you earn your doctorate is not who you were when you began your coursework. And who you are the day your committee first says, “Congratulations Doctor” is not who you will be as you move through your career.
Sistahs on the Doctoral Journey (SDJ) is a community of Black women from ABD through wherever your doctoral journey takes you. In our community we are about the business of supporting each other. Imagine…
- Celebrating your wins, big and small, with women who truly understand the magnitude of your achievements.
- Finding profound encouragement when imposter syndrome rears its head.
- Connecting with a powerful network of Black women, from ABD students to senior administrators, who are ready to share wisdom, resources, and unwavering support.
- Discovering the intellectual and spiritual sanctuary you’ve been craving within our dedicated space for growth and connection.
- Building your legacy while benefiting from the methods and mindsets of the 19th Century Black women who came before you.
The doors of the SDJ community open on July 1, 2026. Join by June 30, 2026 for a discounted membership for as long as you stay in our community.
