About
-
disparate opportunity and pay
-
lack of support and development
-
continued underinvestment by government, companies, and our education system
-
less access to power and influence regarding voice and agency to change circumstances that are impacting ourselves and our communities.
These challenges have existed as long as we have existed in this country.
Disparities and opportunity gaps continue to widen as our rights are taken away little by little.
Even though there has been progress, there is still much progress to make.
We believe all girls can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
My Sister's Keeper Success Institute is here to accelerate equity
and improve the quality of life for the next generation of BIPOC women by providing girls with high-quality mentorship, well-being tools, and resources that help them pursue high-demand careers.
FACT:
Girls with representative mentors are more likely to be successful in school, to be leaders in their communities, and to enter young adulthood with awareness of opportunities for ongoing education and career choices.
FACT:
Mentors provide the socio-cultural knowledge and capital necessary to open doors to certain educational and career opportunities that were previously unknown or inaccessible by their mentees.
FACT:
Mentors can provide much needed validation and support for girls who are also students of color in the face of gender and race discrimination-related stressors and can be a critical source of support for cognitive development for BIPOC youth.
Our Mission
To provide BIPOC girls with high-quality mentorship, well-being tools, and resources that help them pursue high-demand careers.
