One Dream.
One T-Shirt.
One Sisterhood.
Sisterhood(verb), Inc. was born in 2014 when poet, educator, and founder Tayllor Johnson asked: What does it mean to DO sisterhood? What does it mean to experience sisterhood? In searching, she discovered that her answer was at the intersection of creativity and community. In building a curriculum that prioritized art as a community norm, she witnessed community empowerment in action in the classroom. In creating safe spaces for Black women to gather, converse, laugh, and create, she saw bridges being built. In supporting other entrepreneurs in seeing their visions come to life, her community grew.
There is not one answer to experiencing and celebrating sisterhood, but in finding hers, she felt called to create Sisterhood(verb), Inc., where she can use her 9+ years of teaching and consulting experience with educational communities and entrepreneurs to broaden their social impact and outreach. We aim to build bridges, catalyze positive change, and find creative solutions. Sisterhood in ACTION.
