A Note from our Founder:
As we step out of February, a month rich with history, legacy, and love, I am reminded of the powerful truth that leadership is not just about the present; it is about investing in those who will shape the future. At Big Sister Little Sister Mentoring Program (BSLS), we are not just mentoring young women and youth; we are nurturing changemakers, history makers, and leaders who will impact industries, communities, and generations to come.
Investing in the Future Starts Now
Leadership is a seed planted today for a harvest that will extend far beyond our lifetimes. When we pour into the personal, professional, and community development of our members, we are ensuring that their voices, ideas, and actions shape the world for the better. BSLS is not just about mentorship; it’s about empowerment, sustainability, and long-term impact.
Sustainability in Action
This year, we are sharpening our focus on our nonprofit sustainability, ensuring that our work remains impactful and long-standing. From expanding our chapters and securing new funding sources to strengthening our leadership pipeline and environmental initiatives, every step we take is designed to build a stronger, more resilient BSLS. Our commitment to personal growth, professional development, environmental responsibility, and community impact remains at the heart of everything we do.
A Call to Action: Be Part of the Legacy
As we celebrate the changemakers who came before us during Black History Month and beyond, we must also ask ourselves: What legacy are we creating today? Whether through mentorship, volunteerism, or financial investment, every contribution fuels the mission of BSLS and ensures that the next generation has the resources, wisdom, and support to thrive.
Together, we are shaping a world where young women and youth are equipped, confident, and ready to step into leadership. Thank you for being part of this movement. Let’s make 2025 a year of unprecedented growth, impact, and purpose!
With purpose and passion,
Aneisha Hughes
