SistaKeeper is an Imani Project (faith), founded by Tracie Berry-McGhee in 2002, to empower, inspire, and develop the mind, body, and spirit of our young women into women with a purpose. Tracie Started doing Little Sista Circles in her basement, with her best friend Joy Edwards. As a licensed Therapist, writer and motivational speaker she was inspired to incorporate an inspirational, educational poetry spoken word CD, book, workbook and journal for African-American girls empowering them to find their purpose. Tracie facilitates mentoring/and therapeutic support circles for young girls in various settings. Also, providing individual counseling as needed.
As SistaKeeper grew the vision continues to empower all girls by becoming a 501c3 non-profit organization. Offering prevention services to build diversity, leadership and character skills making our young girls aware of issues that impact our communities daily through public speaking and awareness!
SistaKeeper Empowerment Center vision is to break down walls of prejudice, build diversity, self-esteem, and leadership skills. SistaKeeper Empowerment Center would empower young girls to become social activist for their communities, realizing together we can break cycles, and build sisterhood, locally, nationally, and globally.
In April 2004, SistaKeeper Empowerment Center became a nonprofit organization and has made a positive impact on the lives of over 1000 young girls.
Sistakeeper has grown beyond Missouri where it is centrally located. There are now SistaKeeper groups in cities throughout the USA, West Africa, and Germany.
SistaKeeper strives to promote Self-awareness, Character Education, Diversity, and Leadership within in our community through our sista-circles, locally, nationally, and globally.
