A $65K remote role for UI/UX designers, copywriting for the skincare girlies, and resources for grad school applications!
5 minutes read
Hey sis,
‘I wish I had someone to guide me through opportunities as a young girl. Who knows what difference it would have made?’ Many of us have thought about this. It is even one of the reasons I started Sisterly HQ!
Today, I want to emphasise looking out for the young women and little girls in your life, particularly pre-teens and teens. Someone comes to mind, right? It could be your daughter, sister, cousin, niece, neighbour, etc. My challenge to you this week is: How can you be the person you wish you had for her?
Have conversations with her, listen to her interests, and share the things you know. No one is too young for transformative opportunities. That fellowship, competition, program, or scholarship could be just what she needs. We’ve featured some opportunities for our little sisters in this week’s letter, and many more on the website. This could be your starting point.
