Be part of something extraordinary. We use self-care, sisterhood, and historical education to honor the legacy of Black, Brown, Asian, and Indigenous foremothers — many of whom have been overlooked or erased from dominant historical narratives. The mission of Brave Sis Project is to help repair and sustain our ability to address systemic biases and barriers to genuine allyship, kindness, collaboration through offering books, digital content, online courses, workshops, curated events, and coaching.
As we navigate shifts in how we communicate and envision action, it is clear that old methods are insufficient. Our programs and offerings are designed to dismantle barriers by acknowledging overlapping forms of discrimination and challenging both hidden and overt limiting narratives.
Brave Sis Project drives awareness and brave space generation to ensure more people feel seen, valued, and empowered.
Your partnership will help us expand our reach, deepen programming, and empower lasting, equitable change.
Every donation keeps us moving towards the tomorrow we believe in.
Plus your contribution is tax-deductible, allowing you to make an impact while receiving the tax benefit in return.
Together, we can address systemic biases and barriers to genuine allyship and collaboration.
