- THE GALA | STSI
Sister to Sister International, Inc. is proud to celebrate 30 Years of Service to Westchester and beyond. We invite you to celebrate with us on Thursday, September 26, 2024 - An Evening Benefiting Black and Brown Women and Girls' Initiatives. Event STSI & Mission: Founded in 1994 by Cheryl Brannan and her family, Sister to Sister International, Inc. (STSI) is a nonprofit, non-governmental 501 (c) (3) tax-exempt organization with a singular focus: to educate and advocate for the advancement of Black women, women of color, girls, and their families locally and globally. Headquartered in Yonkers, NY—one of the most densely populated cities in Westchester County with a majority-minority population including numerous communities of color—STSI works to empower those it serves and ensure their safety, rights, and well-being. Locally, our program effort is anchored by our groundbreaking STEM and STEAM offerings where middle and high school girls are introduced to the world of science and math through a cultural lens, including advance introduction to these subjects by accomplished professionals that serve as role models. This ultimately enhances their self-confidence and competency, as well as, life and career choices. In 2010 STSI offered the first ever STEM/STEAM summer camp in the Lower Hudson Valley New York region for Black and Brown Girls. This has since matured into a highly acclaimed year-round academy. The program has had a life altering impact on the outlook of over 1,000 girls and their families. Globally, STSI has held Special Consultative Status with the United Nations since 2004. There, we co-host an annual United Nations Commission on the status of women global event. Recently, in 2019 STSI undertook a seminal research project, “Still I Rise: Status of Black Women and Girls in Westchester County” to better understand the scope of the issues facing Black women and girls in Westchester County. The research was driven by four pillars of inquiry that have led to a report and the creation of collective impact workgroups with diverse stakeholders including business, government, community, academic and faith-based organizations. The four program areas include: STEM/STEAM Education (our original pillar); Health & Wellness with a special focus on Black Maternal Health; Juvenile and Social Justice; and Entrepreneurship, Pay Equity and Economic Prosperity. In these efforts we work with several key community partners to achieve collective impact. STSI Accomplishments At-A-Glance: Funded over forty (40) Reach for the Stars Scholarships over the last ten (10) years. Sponsored and executed thirteen (13) Annual STEAM Summer Camps and eight (8) year-round academies for Black Girls and Girls of Color.

Health and wellness is a cornerstone of Sister to Sister International. With a focus on Maternal Health, Teen Pregnancy Prevention, Mental Health & HIV/AIDS Reduction, we promote healthy lifestyles and weave health literacy into all of our programs. HEALTH & WELLNESS HEALTH & WELLNESS EDUCATION EDUCATION GLOBAL AFFAIRS GLOBAL AFFAIRS HEALTH & WELLNESS Health and wellness is a cornerstone of Sister to Sister International. With a focus on Maternal Health, Teen Pregnancy Prevention, Mental Health & HIV/AIDS Reduction, STSI advocates for and promotes healthy lifestyles and health literacy into all of our programs. Almost 20 years ago, we started our Health Symposium, which grew into a Healthy Weekend Extravaganza. We also, implemented a “Sisters Beating the Odds & Claiming Wellness Campaign” for almost a decade. The tag line for the campaign that promotes health screenings is “Knowing Your Stats is where it’s At!” STSI has supported the adoption of the Affordable Care Act and sponsored educational forums to ensure that the public is appraised on how to access services. We work with physicians and various community stakeholders to break down the barriers related to access to health services for women and families of color, while re-enforcing self-empowerment and responsibility. We have also had a significant impact working with area churches and our faith-based partners like the Kingdom Christian Cultural Center, where many parishioners have become healthy role models in the church, their families and communities.

Click Here for Documents S.T.E.A.M. SCIENCE | TECHNOLOGY | ENGINEERING | ARTS | MATH EDUCATION Education is one of Sister to Sister International’s key areas of focus. We have collaborated with other partners around educational initiatives. Also, we have sponsored student and parent workshops with our trusted partner Dr. Angela Campbell and Academic Pathways, over the past fifteen (15) years. Many of our education forums have been coordinated by college interns and STSI youth members. They have featured college students and career fairs, as well as information sharing for parents on how to be an effective champion for your child academically, along with the art of applying for college scholarships and so much more. STSI has been on the cutting-edge of STEM education for girls of color, in Westchester County. STSI Founder & CEO, Cheryl Brannan used her educational background to introduce the concept and design of the inaugural program. For over a decade, our multi-faceted STEAM Camp for high school girls aims to assist in remedying the significant lack of representation of women of color in Science Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math fields in the U.S. The STEAM Camp provides advance math and science instruction, STEAM lectures, exposure to STEAM role models and field trips, along with leadership, public speaking, networking, and self-esteem building skills. Our STEAM camp has evolved into a year-round STEAM Academy. In 2011, STSI through it’s UN NGO affiliations, facilitated a STEM Camp here in Westchester for a group of 8 Nigerian Lagos State Government students, and 2 teachers. The camp received critical acclaim and received great support, from Nigerian born board member and treasurer, Subomi Macaulay. Education GLOBAL AFFAIRS GLOBAL AFFAIRS STSI is an official UN partner holding Special Consultative Status to the UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) and the Department of Public Information (DPI). Over the years STSI has sponsored many global events and collaborated with all aspects of civil society, including governmental and non-governmental entities, as well as the private sector, locally and globally. We have championed causes related to literacy and the adoption of the Gambian National Library in memory of the late Ruth V. Washington, an STSI friend who was in a fatal car crash prior to serving in her post as Ambassador to the Gambia; to assisting women in Haiti, through our “Helping the Ladies In Haiti Campaign” after their most recent tragic earthquake. Over the past ten years, our UN Days have become a hit with many students and women looking forward to joining STSI and global partners at the UN annually, to participate in thought-provoking impactful activities, during the Commission on the Status of Women’s sessions and so much more!
