Welcome to GaGa Sisterhood

Hi. I'm Donne Davis, the Founder of GaGa Sisterhood

For two decades GaGaSisterhood was a national membership organization. The organization provided “gaga” grandmas a place to bond, brag, and benefit.

 

My idea for GaGaSisterhood grew out of my passion for becoming a grandma after witnessing the birth of my first grandchild, Juliet on April 26, 2003.

 

Immediately, I wanted to find kindred sisters who shared my enthusiasm and boy did I. So many grandmas have graced my life over these past 20 years — it’s hard to  quantify. From our first meeting on December 7, 2003 to our last formal meeting on December 7, 2023, grandmas have shared their stories and touched my heart.

 

For two decades the GaGa Sisterhood was always been a labor of love for me. Over the years, the format of the group evolved and changed to meet the needs of the time. But whether meetings were in person, or via Zoom, my mission remained firm — to inspire grandmas to keep growing and learning along with our children and grandchildren.

 

COVID came into all of our lives and it become more laborious trying to juggle two almost disparate parts — our original local Silicon Valley grandmas and our newer online community from all over the US (sometimes even Australia). This combined with differences in the ages of our grandchildren was starting to cause a lot of our members to feel they were “aging out” because their grandchildren had become teenagers and older. It became more difficult to find speakers and topics that appealed to all ages has become more challenging.

 

On December 7, 2023 GaGsSisterhood had their last formal meeting. And while there will be some small, local franchised groups of 'GaGaSisterhood Grammas' who will continue to meet in their local neighborhoods, we are no longer continuing GaGaSisterhood as a national online membership organization.

 

You ask, what will I be doing? I'll be busy as I continue to enjoy my precious grandchildren and family. Also I'll continue writing articles from time to time. And I'll be available to participate with pod casts, panels, speaking opportunities, etc.

Contact me if you, or your organization have opportunities such as these that are coming up and you are looking for someone with my experiences to share. I look forward to staying in touch. Drop a note to me on our Contact Form.
