History of SisterMentors

In 1997, four women of color doctoral students, Shireen Lewis, Melissa Littlefield, Philipia Hillman and Judi Moore Latta met at Sisterspace and Books, a bookstore in Washington, D.C. devoted to selling books by and about African American women. We came together because we were all in desperate need of help completing our dissertations and were not getting the help we needed at our universities.

After that night, as word got out about the group, more and more women kept coming. The need for support for doctoral women students of color was unquestionable.

Sometime around 2000, Kangbai Konate, one of the women who had recently joined SisterMentors, suggested mentoring young girls of color from low-income families, since the data showed a high dropout rate among children of color. We all knew this reality since, for those at predominantly white institutions, we were seeing so few young women of color undergraduates and even fewer pursuing graduate degrees. We also knew that there were no doctoral students or Ph.Ds organized in mentoring young girls of color and who were visible as role models — to open the eyes of girls of color to college-educated women who looked like them and who were persevering in school and achieving academic success despite the odds.

Around that same time, Shireen Lewis and a group of people, including Montina Cole, created EduSeed, the nonprofit umbrella for SisterMentors. SisterMentors was then adopted as EduSeed’s nonprofit program.
