About Me
A native Chicagoan with a heart for sisterhood.
I'm Felicia Bates Pointer — President & Founder of Just Us Sistahs Talking, LLC. What began in the confines of my home in 2002 has grown into a movement of women lifting women through networking, sisterhood, and entrepreneurship.
I'm a graduate of Chicago State University and Governors State University, but my real life's work is the women and girls I'm blessed to encounter every day. Their stories are mine. Their wins are ours.
