About
The Problem:
The problems impacting BIPOC girls and women that we are aiming to tackle are generational, systemic, historical, and societal. It will require intention and effort from multiple sources to create sustainable solutions.
MSKSI mentors girls and prepares them to overcome
-
disparate opportunity and access
-
lack of support and development
-
continued underinvestment by government, companies, and our education system
-
lack of representative mentors and role models
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 and
holistic well-being.
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 and holistic well-being.
