Sister-2-Sister was founded in Spring 2018. Although the project was initially based in performing arts, it has evolved into a mentoring project. The objective is to create a sisterhood of women of color; founders Sakinah Bennett '21 and Skylar Walker '21 want to become the older sister-like role models they wished they’d had in high school. Sister-2-Sister uses performing arts, crafts, and writing as tools to facilitate conversations and conduct workshops about self-development, early college awareness, and community-building. Sister-2-Sister provides space where young women of color feel they are a priority instead of a minority, and they are offered the necessary skills and information to succeed in the world while sharing love, peace, and wisdom from one sister to another. Sakinah and Skylar believe these methods are critical to increase graduation rates amongst young women of color; to provide a safe space where young women of color can focus solely on themselves and their development; to make sure young women of color feel important and heard; and to allow these young to express themselves and find their voices.
