Make some new friends / improve your social life

Here at The Sistahood we know how hard it can be to meet new people, especially in the big cities like London, where despite the dense populations in the UK it's still possible to feel completely isolated. click here to see complete article We recommend the following sites to get you started.   Social events (linkups etc) General Chat (forums/chatrooms) Dating Pan-Africanism Social events (linkups etc) Ladies days out If you're looking for a ladies evening out, please check out our calendar here.  If you want to attend any of these events, or you wish to receive information on these events by e-mail, please e-mail us at ladiesdaysout@sistahood.co.uk and we'll hook you up!! Please don't be shy - all the ladies are very friendly and lovely people and will always try and make any newcomers feel welcome! In their own words, they're a bunch of fun-loving, hard-working young black men. Whilst they have different backgrounds, interests, occupations and faiths, they all share a common bond of friendship.  They often organise various events and linkups and it's a good place to meet new people.  It's not just for guys: women are welcome on the site and at the events. Check out their forums too!  But remember, if you subsequently choose to show up at events, you'll no longer be anonymous, so be careful what you post in there!   General chat (forums/chatrooms) Massive forum with apparently more than 25,000 members!  If ever you wanted to disappear into an enormous community and post anonymously in a forum, this is your chance.  The forums are very active, and you're sure to find topics you can relate to in there. Don't forget we also have our own forums right here on the sistahood, so feel free to post in there too.  We'd love to hear what you have to say! Dating UKafro In their own words: UK Afro is the fun place to meet black people in the United Kingdom for networking. It's also a great place to meet singles who are looking for relationships. And there's absolutely free chats on some days every week! Pan-Africanism Ligali (pronounced lee-ga-lee) is the African British* Equality Authority. They are a Pan African Human Rights Organisation that challenge the misrepresentation of African people and culture in the British media. Their remit is to actively campaign for cultural, economic, political and social justice on behalf of the African community. Ligali has some serious forums, have a look if you're interested in this type of thing, and try and keep an open mind if pan-africanism is new to you. The Sistahood recognises that not all of these sites are for everyone, but we do feel that however you feel about the things they stand for, there's always something to gain from studying alternative points of view. There are many other worthy sites we have not mentioned here, but please send us your recommendations and if appropriate we will add them (see below). If you have any other suggestions, recommendations etc, please write about it in our forums or e-mail us at ideas@thesistahood.co.uk and we will mention it somewhere on our site.   Also, if you have any major complaints about any sites that we have or have not recommended, please let us know so we can review whether or not we should continue to recommend the sites. Please remember we are not responsible for the content of external sites, even if we have recommended them or provided a link.
