Our mission is to provide a safe and empowering space where women can come together, dream bigger into their purpose, share their experiences, and support one another on their personal, purpose and professional development journeys.
Through our transformative courses, engaging storytelling discussions, and lived experience wisdom resources, we aim to foster a strong sense of sisterhood, inspire personal growth, and empower Black Women and all women to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
Join us and be a part of a community that celebrates the healing wisdom and the leadership practice of sisterhood.

Step into the Healing Wisdom of Sisterhood
In a world that often bombards us with expectations, judgments, and the pressures to conform and compete against each other, choosing love as a pathway to our collective liberation begins as a radical act of self-liberation. The profound impact of choosing love as a guiding force for sisterhood allows us to collaborate, celebrate, feast on life’s moments, connecting to the expansiveness of our potential through our cultural inheritance.
In a fast-paced world, where time slips through our fingers like grains of sand, this practice of savoring the present becomes a radical act of self-love. It becomes an act of Slower Urgency, "what if how we responded to the crisis is the crisis?" as reminded by Bayo Akomolafe. Stepping into the practice of sisterhood as a ritual helps us reclaim and remember who we are. It involves slowing down, relishing the beauty of the ordinary, and cultivating a mindful awareness that allows us to rest in the healing wisdom of sisterhood, understand the collective power of sisterhood, our responsibility to each other and our connection to all living things.
