Let's Talk Woman to Woman Saturdays at 11am IntellectualRadio.com I AM MY Sister's Keeper www.elegantbehavior.com We had the pleasure of hosting an event for young ladies from the age of 17 to 20 that are currently or previous wards of the State. Early in the planning stages of the event, we decided that we would call it, I Am My Sister’s Keeper. This event included speakers, resume writing and interviewing tips, hair and makeup suggestions for the workplace and more. The event concluded with the young ladies given an opportunity to choose gently worn business attire. When given some thought, WE are all our sister’s keeper. We should all make ourselves available to lend an ear, share wisdom or assist in time in need. Simply put, we cannot survive life without each other. We must move away from the backstabbing, senseless violence and the need to degrade our sisters and understand that we all are the same. Yes, we differ in our life experiences but at the end of the day, it’s not black or white it is just sister’s! Let’s keep this movement going, we ARE our sister’s keeper! 15
