    MY SISTER’S KEEPER 2011

    This year’s My Sister’s Keeper will commemorate 10 years of creating personal and social transformation from the ground up. We do this through developing and supporting the young, working-class, women leaders of Boston. Over the last years more than 500 young women have been members of Reflect and Strengthen; our Street Theater troupe has entertained thousands; and we remain the only gender specific, constituent led organization in Boston. My Sister's Keeper has developed the reputation as one the most exciting and enjoyable cultural community events of the year! Come celebrate our past, present, and future while feeding your body, mind, and soul with delicious food, poetry, dance, Hip Hop, song, visual art, and photography.

    At My Sister’s Keeper we will honor the "Great 8", the eight brave sisters who founded Reflect and Strengthen 10 years ago. We will also be giving out two “My Sister’s Keeper” awards which acknowledge unsung sheroes who possesses remarkable leadership and vision and have advanced opportunities for other young, working-class, urban women of Boston - their impact is widespread and deeply felt.  These women have immense determination and are actively working in their community, fighting injustice, supporting young sisters and creating lasting, positive change.
