History of ISS


What started as a single movie night attended by five people as become so much more. In October 2002 two women sought to bring together the bi-sexual, lesbian, and questioning women of Indianapolis. Starting with simple Meet & Greets the newly founded IndySoulSistahs slowly took shape. In June 2003 the IndySoulSistahs join with the ladies of Deeper than Color to host our first Ice Breaker BBQ. Also in June the IndySoulSistahs made our first appearance at IndyPride, marking the first ever appearance of an african american female group.  In late 2003 at the suggestion of one of our members, we began our most popular event to date: our Sunday Dinner Discussions. In 2004 we started girls night out hosting many functions at the now defunct Jaquars. Including our Valentine's day dance and Halloween party. 2005 we joined with Wet Promotions to help bring OOZHEE to Indianapolis for the first time. Look for us as we resume the Dinner Discussions, our softball game scheduled for May, our continued presence at IndyPride and maybe even host a hot party or two. SEE YOU THIS SUMMER
