What We Do—

Sisterhood has been a constant goal among feminists and everyday women for decades, but deep-rooted systemic oppression has caused privileged and marginalized women to remain divided.

Sol Sisters believes through creative and educational opportunities, we can work to solve this problem. By engaging in this work, future generations can live in support of their differences and similarities.

 
 

How We Do It—

Sol Sisters brings events and services to women that are focused on four areas of health that ENRICH, EMPOWER, AND EVOLVE women of all backgrounds.

 
 
 

MENTAL
HEALTH

PHYSICAL
HEALTH

ARTS

PROFESSIONAL

Our Story—

Dr. Christine Coleman’s experience as a mental health professional sparked her interest in creating opportunities for women to access services that differed from traditional therapy. She noticed that several families considered therapy taboo, often declining services due to cultural stigma. In 2013, Dr. Coleman founded Sol Sisters, calling upon women in the Bay Area to help her expand her vision. 

In 2014, the Sol Sisters team began to work together to provide events to the community; the first being Revival: Bringing Back the Beauty Within, an empowering day for women from marginalized backgrounds. The team continued to evolve Sol Sisters’ event programming, integrating other empowering experiences including physical fitness, arts and culture, and mental health initiatives. 

Over the years, Sol Sisters has evolved from quarterly events reflective of our wellness model: mental health, physical health, creative expression, and professional development to a programmatic model that will serve deserving throughout the Bay Area, and beyond. Dr. Christine is ecstatic about the growth of Sol Sisters and offers gratitude to all who have and will contribute to the greater vision of equity and joy for women around the world.
