How Sister Friends Help Little Sisters
"I have heard their groans and sighs and seen their tears, and I would give every drop of blood in my veins to free them."
- Harriet Tubman
We stand on the shoulders and backs of our elders and ancestors that made the way for us to be free and thrive in our collective resilience and joy! We are each other's medicine!

- Lack of access to resources & support
- High infant & maternal mortality and morbidity rates
Our Story
SBV has been a dream and purpose in the making since 2018. The vision didn't come to fruition until the spring of 2021, when Founder/Director Soraya Dos Santos had her initial gathering with the founder of BP USA, Mama Kat. A monumental event slotting in the missing piece that would catalyze change in remembering, reclaiming, reviving, and restoring our community's maternal health & wellness.
