Who We Are
We're not just making space. We're changing the room.
Sistas in Sales is a global community committed to creating meaningful connections, expanding access, and advancing the careers of women in sales.
How It Started
Built from connection. Grown into a movement.
Founded by Chantel George in 2017, Sistas in Sales began with a simple belief: no woman of color in sales should have to navigate her career alone.
What started as a gathering in New York City grew into the leading global membership organization and summit centering women of color and allies in sales — more than 20,000 professionals across tech, media, CPG, retail and beyond.
Today the community spans New York City, Atlanta, Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver, San Francisco, London, Barcelona and Accra, backed by partners like Netflix, Walmart Connect and The Trade Desk.
