About Us

How We're Helping


My Sistah House  fosters sustainability and security for the most vulnerable of the transgender, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (TLGBQ) communities in Memphis Tennessee, providing emergency housing, advocacy, and multipronged resource assistance delivered by and for gender non-conforming (TGNC) people of color.

A grassroots, direct services and advocacy organization, My Sistah’s House was founded in 2016 by two trans women of color who sought to bridge a gap in services for trans and queer people of color (TQPOC) in Memphis, TN, with a focus on transgender women of color. 


Memphis faces a serious lack of emergency housing: In 2016, there were only 71 beds available in emergency shelters across the metro area—and none of them were designated as trans-specific. Many of them actively discriminate against transgender people.

Films and Testimonials

Welcome to My Sistah's House we support the hard and many times dangerous work of sex workers by providing a safe place to rest, get access to sexual health services and harm reduction tools. *filmed on location in Memphis, TN at MSH drop in center. (Actors Khyia Ward playing Kayla, Ladi London playing new house guest) None of the PSA have been overdramatized, rather they've been played down for people who could be triggered by the true experiences of Black Trans Women living in the South seeking shelter and safety at MSH. Special thanks to orgs Planned Parenthood, PEAs INC, The Haven, Friends For Life (FFL) and Choices for providing free or reduced cost health services to our members and non members.

How MSH supports TGNC people. In this reenactment MSH Founder (played by Khia Moore) assist to MSH members with transportation and assistance with finding employment and secure safe housing. *filmed on location in Memphis, TN at MSH drop in center.

Names have been changed to protect identities. 

Not always does society accept how we show up, but MSH nutures newly transitioning people in many ways. Not always does that support develop a butterfly. Being transgender closes a lot of doors, and presents are higher probability of homelessness, social status being non existent, economical oppurtinties limited, and the highest possibility of exclusion from bio family and friends. In this reenactment this person seeks the services from MSH only to realize being transgender isn't a walk in the park with Italian ice. But they were able to make decisions best for them in a safe and encouraging environment. *filmed on location in Memphis, TN at MSH drop in center.
