Here at SisterGirl, we've spent years focusing in on the mental wellness of Black girls in independent schools by facilitating space for them to develop new bonds, engage in candid dialogue, and foster lifelong friendships through our annual summer retreat. After consulting with school counselors and educators in the field, it dawned on us -- supporting Black girls in PWI schools extends far beyond the student population we've been able to serve so far. That's where you come in! This year, we are holding our innaugural Sister Summit, and you are cordially invited. 

​

In an interesting reversal of roles, Black women educators will learn from pearls of wisdom gained over the course of three summers and five cohorts of voices of teeneage girls. We've seen the emotion in your eyes, tremble in your voice, and passion in your heart when recounting stories and challenges of supporting Black students in PWIs. With that in mind, we've created this special opportunity for connection in the ways most resonate in our communities and history: through food, laughter, and sisterhood. 

​

Step into a day designed for Black women educators to connect, recharge, and find inspiration in the very space that the Sister Circle unfolds, at SGCs cherished waterfront retreat home in King George, Virginia.  Through a full day of interactive workshops and collaborative conversations, participants will explore practical strategies for strengthening teaching practice, leadership, and mental health in high-pressure school environments. Light bites are provided throughout the day, and the experience culminates in a crab feast, where participants can relax, connect, and celebrate community. The Sister Summit is a space to learn, share, and leave equipped to make an impact—both in your own practice and in your school.

So, what are you waiting for? Time to get cracking!
