"I see Black and Brown women and girls as having a major role to play in helping save the world."
We sat down with co-founder Dr. Shireen Lewis to discuss @sistermentors's success investing in the future of girls and women of color 25 years later:

As we countdown to SisterMentors 25th Anniversary, we return to our early days to feature Dr. Melissa Littlefield. Dr. Littlefield was part of the founding group of women and the first woman of color SisterMentors helped to earn her Ph.D.

Celebrating 25 Years of SisterMentors!!! WOW!!! 25 years of deep and long investment in women and girls of color making their DREAM of higher education come true! Who else has done that??? Go, SisterMentors! #boldpast#fiercefuture#highereducation#investment
For SisterMentors, Miah P
Wonder what would happen if colored women took back their tongues and pens, dared to rewrite their own chapters, a bold past engraved into the stones
Wonder what would happen if they gave themselves permission to feel..that a fierce future awaits them
We are intentional about fostering deep connections between the different generations in our sisterhood because they have much to learn from each other, particularly how to fight against the structural barriers limiting their ability to live in freedom and dignity. #sisterhood
WE believe
that a Black or Brown girlโs freedom to pursue her hopes and dreams starts with nurturing the desire for higher education, being resilient, and of service to others.
This is Cindy. She is the first in her family to obtain a college degree and SisterMentors helped her to do that and to prepare for her dream job. We support girls of color helping them to become FIERCE so they can take on whatever life throws them. Celebrating 25 years!
This is Ruth. She was 12 years old and in 6th grade when she joined SisterMentors. Today, she is 18 years old, in 12th grade and on her way to college. Ruth plans to major in Biology, go to med school and become an OB/GYN. Ruth is FIERCE. We nurture the FIERCE in girls of color.
We are intentional about fostering deep connections between the different generations in our sisterhood because they have so much to learn from each other. We want girls to pass their wisdom up to older woman and older women to pass their wisdom down to younger girls.
