Our Poem

Tulsa Sisters Sippin’ Tea 
I love my tea Sippin’ Sistahs 
My Tulsa Sisters Sippin’ Tea 
And every flavor of wonderful are we 
From dark coffee, mocha latte, caramel syrup 

Creamy dreamy
Sistahs…
Beautiful
Tea Sippin’
Page flippin’
Upliftin’
Sistahs.

We do more than read…
We ARE the book
For each of us has a story
To share

A gift to give
Wisdom to impart
There is an art
To being a Sistah
An attitude that only a
Black woman 
Can exude.
Intelligent… 
Sophisticated…
Soft and sweet…

But also well versed
In the intricacies
Of the street.
Well rounded Sistahs
Leaving the masses 
Dumbfounded
As we continue 
To nurture
Serve
Support
And excel
While still managing to
Sip tea…

I love my Sistahs
My tea Sippin’ Sistahs
My Tulsa Sisters Sippin’ Tea!
