A space to engage a community of sisters to share real life experiences and the lessons we’ve gleaned from them. I believe sisterhood is more than biological, but is a choice to engage and be present in the lives of others. As a single mom, the value of my sisters in my life has never been clearer to me. Come with us as we journey to discover deeper connections as sisters, as human beings. Join us Monday mornings at 10am EST!
