Since June 2010, Digital Sisterhood Network founder Ananda Leeke has been organizing and hosting quarterly She Writers Meet Ups for Washington, DC area women writers at Teaism, a local woman-owned cafe, in an effort to build community and encourage peer networking.

- June 29th Summer Meet Up (celebration of SheWrites.com’s 1st anniversary)
- September 29th Fall Meet Up
- November 29 Winter Meet Up
Ananda discovered SheWrites.com, a vibrant online community of women writers, while sitting next to SheWrites.com co-founder Kamy Wicoff in a workshop session at the BlogHer conference held in August 2009. At first glance, Ananda fell head over heels in love with SheWrites.com and has been an active member ever since.
In 2011, Digital Sisterhood Network adopted the DC She Writers Meet Up as one of its community building initiatives and began sponsoring meet ups. See schedule below.
