GIRLS WILL CHANGE THE WORLD
Young women and girls are invited to talk about what it’s like for them in this social and political climate.
The 7Sisters Project hosts live and online talk shows for college-age women.
Each 7Sisters Live Summit is a series of fast paced, unscripted, edgy, talk-show-style conversations with rotating panels of girls from diverse backgrounds sharing their feelings, opinions and views in front of the audience.
Online, our talk shows take place via Zoom meetings.
From body image to bullying, fashion to food, race to relationships and everything in between, we bring young women. together to talk about the issues ALL women face regardless of race, religion, gender identity or culture.
The entire audience has the opportunity to speak and to be filmed at every live event, giving girls an unprecedented platform to exchange ideas and their voices to be heard.
Female student filmmakers get behind the camera and capture the live, face-to-face conversations for online streaming, connecting girls around the world and spreading powerful messages of empathy, respect and self-determination that lift women up.
7Sisters Live and Online Summits. We put real girls front and center and amplify their voices.
THIS IS THE MOVEMENT THAT WILL CHANGE THE WAY PEOPLE THINK ABOUT GIRLS
7Sisters Summits are where girls talk about how to live in today’s world as a woman, straight up. No celebrity hosts. Just real girls. Sharing our stories helps us to understand what is really going on so we can have our own opinion about things and make decisions for ourselves that make sense. It also means recognizing the unique challenges women face no matter where we live or what our culture is and sharing ideas and experiences to help each other grow. Real girls need a place to talk about real issues, to recognize our power and beauty, and help others recognize it too. That’s what the 7Sisters Project is all about.
