Being My Sister's Keeper was a Sister Act bonding Retreat that was held on October 3 and 4, 2009. This event was a time where we as members of Sister Act had a chance to bond with each other and find out what made us unique as young women. Our trainer was Ms. Trina Scott, Advisor of Young Women of Color. Ms. Scott interacted with us by showing us the proper usage of condoms and about some statistics about AIDS, HIV and other STIs that are affecting young women of color.
Ms. Scott's session was an all day event, which gave us as members of Sister Act a chance to ask question and really interact with each other. During the evening, we had a bonfire facilitated by Ms. Katrina Pitts, advisor for Sister Act where we were about to share our story and the difference experiences and challenges we faced as young women. We encouraged and embraced each other and we shared difficult events conquered during our lives. It was truly a time of bonding and releasing something that we dealt with for so long. At the end of our camp fire experience, we all wrote down issues and other things that we wanted to release and let go of.
After we wrote down our issues we all burned them in the fire as a symbol of letting go of hurts. Ms. Scott led us into a song by Whitney Houston and CeCe Winans "Count on Me." At the end of this retreat we as the members of Sister Act created a bond that will never die because we had a chance to learn and empower each other and this is something that cannot be duplicated.
