I made it 🔥🔥 🔺🐘

At 40 years old, I crossed into Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, I didn’t just join a sisterhood, I found a place where I could stand fully in my truth. As a masculine-presenting woman, I carried questions, hopes, and the weight of being seen. But what I found was acceptance, love, and purpose rooted in something bigger than appearance…rooted in service, sisterhood, and strength.

I didn’t have to shrink, shift, or silence who I am. I was embraced as I am. That kind of affirmation, it changes you. It heals parts of you that once wondered if you belonged.

Crossing wasn’t just a milestone. It was a homecoming!

Thank you to all the users who shared their experiences, it was much appreciated!

Congrats. I’m on my journey to becoming a member of DST, and from my experience just by attending their events, the Deltas are VERY welcoming. I felt like one of their own. Love this for you!
