Founder & CO Founder of BBW University 

Behind BBW University Sisterhood are two women with a shared vision: to create a space where women feel seen, supported, and celebrated  not just for how they look, but for who they are.

What started as a dream of building community has grown into a sisterhood rooted in confidence, connection, and collective empowerment. The Founder and Co-Founder bring passion, purpose, and lived experience into everything they do, working together to create opportunities for women to gather, grow, and shine.

Their mission is simple but powerful: to remind every woman that she is worthy of love, joy, and belonging, exactly as she is. Through events, mentorship, creative expression, and genuine connection, they continue to build a sisterhood that feels like home.

Get to know the women who started it all — their stories, their hearts, and the purpose that fuels BBW University Sisterhood.

Our sisterhood, our strength

At BBW University Sisterhood, our activities are rooted in connection, healing, and shared experience. While our community spans across different states, we remain deeply intentional about how we build and maintain sisterhood.

Our core program and main activity is healing through content. We use intentional content such as reflections, blog posts, conversations, creative prompts, and educational discussions as tools for self-awareness, emotional healing, and growth. Through content, our sisters are encouraged to explore their stories, unlearn harmful narratives, and reconnect with themselves and each other in meaningful ways.

 

In addition to our content-based healing work, we engage in both in-person and online activities, including:

 

  • Community conversations and empowerment discussions focused on self-love, body positivity, mental wellness, and personal growth

  • Online engagement activities designed to build relationships, trust, and connection across distance

  • Creative and reflective experiences, such as journaling prompts, storytelling, and self-expression challenges

  • Local meetups and sister dinners in different states, where we gather to connect, share space, and enjoy one another without pressure or agenda

 

Once a year, we come together for our Annual BBW University Sisterhood Celebration, held in a different state each year. This annual gathering honors our anniversary and the journey of the Sisterhood. During this time, we travel, explore, celebrate, and deepen our bonds through shared experiences, laughter, reflection, and joy.

 

Whether in person or online, our focus remains the same:

building real relationships, creating safe spaces, and healing together through intentional content and community.
