Hey sis,
Happy Saturday! This week, we are celebrating another milestone at Sisterly HQ. This year, we have officially shared over 500 opportunities on our Opportunities Board. That is 500+ jobs, scholarships, internships, fellowships, and many more, to our growing community of over 6000 women. How amazing is that!
Also, sis - did you attend last week’s session on Embracing Global Opportunities? It gave everything it was supposed to give! From the conversation with Motunrayo Fatoke to the speed-mentoring sessions with our incredible mentors, it was an impactful time. Did you miss it? Click here to watch a replay.

In this story, Oluwatobiloba shares feeling insecure about how she looked. Acne was the invisible veil that covered her face and confidence. At one point, she even stopped going out.
