Sister to Sister Think W.I.S.E.

Sister to Sister think WISE (Women Inspiring Success and Excellence) is a community of women dedicated to mentoring and encouraging youth of African descent, to aspire towards higher education after the completion of high school. Each spring we honour those students who are graduating from Windsor & Essex County high schools, with a special recognition to those who are continuing their education.

“Sister-to-Sister is an informal group of women whose aim is to promote positive relationships between and with females (youth) of African descent. Its members vary in age, profession and background. With such diversity in backgrounds, one of the group’s main focuses is to offer opportunities to have deep, meaningful and open discussions about thoughts, ideas, concerns and current issues related to living as a person of African descent in Canadian society. Another important aim is to provide role models and mentors for younger females.” (Excerpt from “Heart to Heart, Sister-to-Sister” by Zhi Lu, Central Michigan University 2005)
