About
Women In The Life
EVENTS
Women In the Life
("WITL") was
created in 1993 to empower and enrich the lives of lesbians of
color, through educational, social and cultural programming, and
support services. The founder of WITL, Sheila Alexander-Reid is
a Black Lesbian Activist and Entrepreneur who started WITL
because at the time there were no safe spaces for lesbians of
color to socialize, network and share their sisterhood.
Initially WITL brought lesbians of color together through
informal social events, such as poetry readings, dances,
community fundraisers, and workshops.
MAGAZINE
Subsequently, WITL created an
information resource in its publication Women In The Life - the
magazine. Published since November 1993, the magazine is now a
quarterly with a substantial national and international
subscriber base.
WEBSITE
Most recently, WITL has expanded its audience via the
interactive Internet portal
www.womeninthelife.com.
Lesbians of color from various countries, cultures,
socioeconomic backgrounds, and political perspectives have a
forum where they may socialize exchange ideas, agendas, and
information. Furthermore, this web site provides financial
information, community news, entertainment, and health-related
resources.
NON-PROFIT ASSOCIATION
Women In The Life,
Association, Inc. ("WITL") is a 501(c)(3) non-profit association
whose goal is to enrich the lives of lesbians of color through
direct service programming, education, issue advocacy, and
resource development around issues that enhance the lives of
