YANASISTERS is more than a community— it is a sacred space for women to connect, heal, and grow. Since our first retreat in 2013, we’ve grown into a thriving sisterhood, helping thousands of women find belonging, encouragement, and purpose. Here, every woman’s story matters, and together, we step into our most authentic selves.
For women to experience the power of connection to God, themselves, and others – you are not alone.
When Imani published You Are Not Alone, she had no idea it would spark a movement. In its pages, she shared her journey of love, purpose, and loss— including losing her husband to schizophrenia and both parents to illness. What began as personal reflections became the foundation for this beautiful sisterhood.
YANASISTERS launches with a retreat in North Georgia, welcoming 16 women on a journey of self-discovery.
More retreats and the first Atlanta-based Meetup group bring new opportunities for connection.
The first Caribbean retreat in Punta Cana and the launch of our Facebook group expand our reach.
By October, YANASisters had a Meetup network of over 7,500 members across six cities and had grown our Facebook community to nearly 1,800 strong.
Our retreats and meetups continued to thrive, including our beloved domestic gatherings and an extraordinary new chapter—our first two retreats in Italy!
The annual retreat moves to the beautiful Elohee Retreat Center in the North Georgia mountains, expanding to 35 participants.
Amid a global pause, we launch CONNECT, a vibrant digital magazine, and hosted countless virtual events—from cooking classes to engaging guest interviews.
An Atlanta day retreat marks our return to live events, alongside new small online groups and a virtual book club.
Our largest retreat yet (retreat #16!) welcomes 45 women, and the sisterhood surpasses 20,000 members worldwide, including a Facebook community of almost 4,000 sisters.
We continue releasing CONNECT magazine, expand live and virtual gatherings, formalize our mentoring and philanthropic efforts, and launch the Inner Circle for sisters seeking deeper connection.
Want to be part of the movement? Whether through volunteering, hosting, or sharing resources, there’s a place for you in YANASISTERS. Let’s build something beautiful together.
