Born From Lived Experience
Sistaz Speaks Foundation, a veteran-led women's empowerment nonprofit in Michigan, began in 2024 when a military veteran, survivor, and life coach turned her healing journey into structured mentorship, wellness, and outreach.
Mentorship, Love, And Action
Our women mentorship programs, girls mentorship programs, and youth empowerment initiatives blend guidance, leadership training, and emotional safety so participants gain confidence, practical tools, and community support to pursue education, careers, and wellness.
Programs With Real Impact
Through Doll Her Up, Adopt a Family, Love Baskets, and workshops, we unite mentorship, financial literacy, and sisterhood events to meet urgent needs while nurturing long-term confidence, leadership, and entrepreneurship.
