Definition of «sista»

"Sista" is a colloquial variation of the word "sister," commonly used to denote a close female friend or a fellow woman within a specific community or movement. It carries a strong sense of solidarity, empowerment, and shared identity, particularly in political or social justice contexts. The term is often used to foster a feeling of kinship and mutual support among women who are fighting for the same cause. While it originated in African American Vernacular English, it has been adopted more broadly in activist circles to emphasize communal bonds.
