A Note from our Founder:
Whe Big Sister Little Sister Mentoring Program (BSLS) first started, I didn’t just want to create a mentorship program, I wanted to build a movement where women and youth could see their worth, step into leadership, and rewrite narratives that held back their ancestors. I wanted to be the mentor I needed.
For 16 years and counting, this has been a journey of service from the heart, intentional impact, and bold resilience. Through mentorship, community-building, and genuine leadership, we’ve empowered thousands of women and youth to pursue education, break cycles, and walk confidently in their purpose. But here’s the truth:
📊 Women-led nonprofits like BSLS receive less than 2% of charitable funding.
📊 76% of women-focused organizations struggle to get any funding at all.
Yet, we keep showing up. We keep leading. We keep cultivating the next generation of world changemakers. But we can’t do it alone.
💜 This Women’s History Month, we invite you to be the difference. Whether you bid in our auction, join Fundraising Fridays, or give in any way—you are helping to shape a future of resilient leaders, sustainable opportunities, and meaningful change right now when it matters most. Let’s continue to build together in a way that shows the next generation how real community and leaders unite—what legacy will you help us build for the next generation?
With purpose and passion,
Aneisha Hughes
