My Sistas Keeper
My Sistas' Keeper unapologetically centers Black women and girls. Too often we are a footnote or an afterthought.
This podcast focuses on issues, topics, concerns related to black women and girls. I've been called to educate, inform, increase awareness and call people to action.
If you are a black woman, black girl or an ally, please listen to the podcast. Download and share. I would like to be in community with like-minded folks.

It Is Not Safe to Be a Woman or Girl Anywhere in The World: Femicide is a Global Public Health Issue
Femicide is the intentional killing of a woman or girl because of their gender. In 2022, the United Nations recorded 89,000 cases of intentional killings of women and girls worldwide. 55% of these murders were committed by intimate partners or perpetrators from the victims own environment.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1,821 Black women and girls were murdered in 2020 in the United States. Why don't we talk about these alarming, disturbing statistics? Is it a case of out of sight, out of mind? Or, if we are not directly affected, is it easy to turn a blind eye? Join Loriann as she discusses some of the issues.
