Sistah Sestra...what does it mean?

I am a GINORMOUS Orphan Black fan. If you have not seen it, stop reading this blog right now and do one of these things:

1. Log into your Amazon account and, if you have Amazon Prime, binge watch Seasons 1 and 2 of Orphan Black on Instant Watch
2. If you don't have Amazon Prime...fine. Order the DVD and select 2-day delivery then follow the rest of #1.
3. Thank me profusely for introducing you to a smart, amazing show that will blow your mind.

So back to the point of this blog entry...why Sistah Sestra. Okay...one of the clones on Orphan Black-Helena--is Ukranian. She refers to her sister clones (and Felix!) as "sistra," the English spelling of the Ukranian word "Сестра" (sister)

I am African American and at times, affectionately refer to myself as a "sistah" One night I was watching OB and thought..."Sistah Sestra" and the nickname was born :-) I even designed a t-shirt...want one?
