About Us

Our Why

I founded My Sista’s KeepHer because I know what it feels like to be unheard, unseen, and left to navigate life’s challenges alone. As a young girl growing up in the projects of Chicago, I endured hardships that no child should have to face. My mother passed away when I was just nine years old, leaving a void that no one could fill. My father struggled with addiction and was not always present in my life. I carried the weight of grief, pain, and trauma—having been molested at a young age, I felt silenced in a world that never asked how I was doing.

As a teenager, I longed for a safe space to express myself—a place where I could be vulnerable without fear, where I could explore my identity, my voice, and my dreams. But such spaces were few and far between, especially for Black and Brown girls like me. I had to figure things out on my own, often making mistakes and second-guessing my worth. It took years for me to reclaim my voice, to find healing, and to recognize the power I carried within me.

I created My Sista’s KeepHer to be the safe space I never had. A place where young girls—especially those facing adversity—can be heard, seen, and supported. This organization is more than a program; it’s a movement to empower, uplift, and equip young women with the tools to rise above their circumstances and step into their full potential.

Business Concept

My Sista’s KeepHer is a comprehensive youth empowerment initiative designed to nurture, educate, and uplift young women through interactive workshops, mentorship, and community advocacy. We work closely with girls and young women from underserved communities, providing them with the tools, resources, and support systems necessary to overcome personal, academic, and social barriers.Our approach is holistic—we recognize that true empowerment is not just about career readiness or academic success, but also about healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. Through leadership development sessions, one-on-one mentoring, and advocacy efforts, we help our participants cultivate confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth.At My Sista’s KeepHer, we are not just guiding young women—we are walking alongside them, ensuring they never have to navigate life’s challenges alone. Our mission is clear: to break cycles of pain and silence by creating spaces where young women can heal, grow, and thrive.

We are building a community where young women are no longer silenced by trauma, poverty, or circumstances beyond their control. We envision a future where every girl has access to mentorship, healing spaces, and the opportunity to become the woman she was meant to be.

My Sista’s KeepHer is not just about empowerment—it’s about transformation. And it’s personal. Because I was once that girl who needed someone to believe in her. Now, I am here to be that person for others.
