Our Story
About the Awards
Born from community. Built on excellence. Dedicated to the women who show up every single day.
How It Began
A Community That Deserved to Be Celebrated
Total Thrifting Sistas started as a gathering place — a community where women who love thrifting, reselling, and building businesses could come together, share knowledge, and lift each other up. What grew from that simple idea was something far more powerful: a sisterhood.
As the community grew, so did the stories of women transforming their lives. Side hustles became full-time businesses. Beginners became mentors. Quiet members found their voices. And through it all, one truth became undeniable — these women deserved to be recognized.
The Sistas in Excellence Awards was created to do exactly that. To pause, look around, and say: we see you. We celebrate you. You are excellent.
