On Saturday, June 28, 2025, we hosted our annual virtual Alumnae Reunion with sisters joining from all over the country. We networked, we laughed, we celebrated, and we held space for all our accomplishments. The event included talks from our recent doctoral graduate Dr. Kanika Jackson and college graduate Dieunette Adusei-Peasah. We hope to see you at the next one!

We are recruiting!
Do you know of any women of color (Black, Latina, Asian, Muslim, Indigenous) working on a doctorate? Would they like to be part of a community of sister scholars helping each other to make progress on earning their degree?
Would they also like to be a role model and mentor for a young girl of color? Do they live in the Washington, D.C. area? If so, SisterMentors is for them.
