Sistas Rebuilding Sisterhood: Healing Our Relationship With Competition (September 2026)

Healing Our Relationship With Competition is a 90-minute virtual conversation within the Sistas Rebuilding Sisterhood series, hosted by Conversations in Color and facilitated by Lana Reid.

In many spaces, Black women have been taught — directly and indirectly — that opportunity is limited, visibility is scarce, and success is easily replaced. These messages have shaped how competition shows up in relationships between women, often quietly influencing trust, comparison, and connection.

This September 2026 conversation builds on earlier discussions of scarcity mindset by going deeper into how competition operates emotionally and relationally — especially in environments where Black women are underrepresented or positioned as interchangeable.

Together, participants will explore:

• What scarcity taught us about other women and ourselves

• How visibility and opportunity can trigger comparison or mistrust

• Jealousy, silence, and perceived replacement within sisterhood

• The difference between ambition and internalized competition

• How competition is often manufactured by systems, not individuals

Rather than shaming honest emotions, this conversation centers awareness, healing, and intentional unlearning — creating space to examine where competition protected us and where it now limits connection.

This session is part of Sistas Rebuilding Sisterhood, a monthly virtual gathering designed to support reflection, honesty, and the rebuilding of trust among intergenerational Black women.

Facilitated by Lana Reid, founder of Conversations in Color and creator and host of The Male Perspective, this conversation offers a grounded space to name difficult truths, reduce isolation, and imagine sisterhood beyond scarcity.
