- You're heartbroken by racism, sexism, genocide, deportations, homophobia, transphobia, and ableism, feel stuck between outrage and inaction, and keep doomscrolling

- You see how white supremacy both hurts and benefits you, but don’t know what to do with your guilt and shame

Praise from past participants:
Montreece Peyton-Hardy
The psychological safety established by facilitators was remarkable, providing a platform where I, as a Global Majority woman with intersecting identities, felt genuinely seen and heard. The facilitators skillfully guided discussions, fostering an atmosphere where I felt comfortable supporting the learning journey of my white sisters. This exchange of perspectives allowed for a deepened awareness of the impact of choices in words, actions, and attitudes toward Global Majority women.

Sisterhood is a group of women, usually with a common interest, working together to support, uplift, empower, and bring out the best in one another. I’ve never been surrounded by more authenticity, vulnerability, and sheer passion than I was with these women. They helped reignite the fire within me to use my voice, loud and proud, to advance change. I can’t think of a better group to call my Sisters and I’m so proud to stand in solidarity with them as we actively fight to dismantle white supremacy.

A world where all women stand tall, grounded in our power, and we all stand together is possible and we can co-create it.
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best is today.
