| SistersofTomorrow.org Across African tradition, from primal times to contemporary history, girls have been guided through each phase of their lives via formal rituals of preparation and celebration, from birth conception to the ancestral realm. African rites of passage thought and activities help us direct our energies to higher levels of human social development. It explores and imparts ways of becoming more productive, conscientious girls and women, and encourages family bonding and community cohesiveness. Sisters of Tomorrow utilizes a culturally relevant approach based on African traditions to pass on life-skill competencies through discussions, training, volunteer service projects, and a range of hands-on activities -- for example, positive image art, African music and dance, quilting, jewelry-making, healthy food preparation, friendship-building games, and more. All this culminates in truly meaningful rites of passage ceremonies for Black girls and women. A group of self-determined African sister-friends (teachers, mothers, community activists, social workers, and others) formed the original Sisters of Tomorrow in East Palo Alto, California (a.k.a. “Little Nairobi”) Sisters of Tomorrow now has more than 25-years of successfully guiding our daughters into positive, proactive African womanhood. This uninterrupted history of serving as a volunteer, community-based, group-building “extended-family”supports the positive development of African American females throughout their lives. Our families can be found throughout the United States, Africa, and the Caribbean. |
