Aspirations of Black Women and Girls

 

Like all human beings, we wish to –

 

  • Grow stronger physically, emotionally, and mentally

  • Enjoy excellent quality of life and health

  • Prosper economically

  • Serve our communities and society

  • Raise our children free from violence and brutality

  • Learn and teach

  • Flourish  

  • Thrive

 

Yet, chronic stress faced in our everyday lives is debilitating, robbing us of our full potential and denying this world all that we can be. Restful and “no demands” safe, life-enriching spaces required to gain strength, learn, share, grow, and prosper are extremely rare. Sister-to-Sister:  International Network of Professional African American (Black) Women, Inc. offers safe harbors to rest minds and bodies, while nurturing spirits.  Our public charity also offers free training/education, special events, and many other benefits rarely found.
