The recent Black Girls Day at the Capitol was the first to highlight minority women’s economic issues in Florida. Several organizations want improvements on education and better access to health care. The Sisters Organizing for Understanding and Leadership Group and other minority groups want state representatives to focus on improvements in education. S.O.U.L. Sister member Tajarah Surin says public schools in southern Florida have a lack of resources.

New York City Youth Leaders Board is raising funds for a trip to Miami!! Help them travel to Florida during their spring break to connect with the Miami Youth Leaders Board, share best practices, and exchange information about the organizing work happening in New York City and South Florida.  Stay tuned for more information!

In October, members of the NYC Youth Leaders Board and participants of the CAMBA Sisterhood Academy attended a performance of nicHi Douglas’s Black Girl Magic Show!, an absurdist dance theatre lecture on Black female identity. After an enjoyable and thought-provoking performance, the show’s cast and crew answered questions from the audience, and the S.O.U.L. Sisters youth got a photo with playwright/performer nicHi Douglas (sister of S.O.U.L. Sisters’ very own Wakumi Douglas!)

Participants from the CAMBA Sisterhood Academy, along with two staff chaperones, attended Urban Word NYC’s Black Girl Magic Ball in February. Organized in celebration of the release of Mahogany L. Browne’s poem, “Black Girl Magic,” the evening included a performance by Oshun and a photo booth, which S.O.U.L. Sisters took full advantage of!  

Partner with S.O.U.L. Sisters and take that first step in creating space for our youth to live authentically and amplify their voices in pursuing radical healing for themselves and their communities.

SOUL Sisters Leadership Collective has hired two full-time NYC staff members!
