"#SisterhoodMatters to me because when no one else understands those
low moments, a sister can. Sisterhood matters when all you
need to do is laugh till you cry even in the midst of pain. Sisterhood
matters when you're flat broke but need those shoes 😂
So today I celebrate this beautiful woman, Mrs. Freda Nyarko of FMS Disposables. She's not just my sister, not just a wonderful mother of 3, not just an awesome wife, but also one of the most industrious, generous
and intelligent women I know. She's my inspiration! I love you big sis! Thanks for your support till date!
You rock! Keep shining."

“Sisterhood matters to me, because I don't know where I'd be without my sisi Tonye. Her tenacity and the sacrifices she makes for her career are awe-‐inspiring.
Always allows me to terrorize her when I'm having an offday. Always makes me feel great. Seriously
nothing like family.”

"Who would I be without my girls? My babies are my biggest
cheerleaders, and I can only hope that they will one day say the same
about me. @tosinger is pretty dope too.

"#SisterhoodMatters because sometimes it's not IF you'll fall, but WHEN, and you NEED someone to
have your back then."

“It's difficult to pick just one woman for the #SisterhoodMatters campaign, so my post goes out to my wonderful
mother, aunts and girlfriends. This life would be so dull without you!”

Khadija: "Being friends with Ivie has really been a great experience. Even though her 'sermons' and words of wisdom can be annoying at times, I
appreciate how she constantly challenges me to be a better person…
Ivie has really become a sister and I'm so thankful to have her in my life."
Ivie: "Khadija is an amazing friend. One thing that I'm grateful for is that she's taught (or should I say forced) me to be less selfish and more caring to others.
We may drive each other insane sometimes, but we'll forever have each other's backs, which I believe is the true
mark of sisterhood."

“Ewurasi & Ofie / This week I learned that a true mentorship is as rewarding for the mentor as for
the mentee. I had somehow sensed that and am happy I am in some of those mutually beneficial
relationships. Here @ewurasi_adepa and @ookodjoe

“Today is the last day of March so I thought I'd tell you why
#SisterhoodMatters to me... Because every step of the way a phenomenal woman has built me up, supported me, laughed with me, and cried with me. It's little things and big things but they all make me see what a
spectacular support system I have. I can't tag everyone but you know
yourself! xx

“To these two amazing women, thank you for giving us another
reason to celebrate all the incredible & supportive women in our lives. I have some amazing males in my life but without sisterhood, I don't know
where I would be. I am who I am because of women who have
allowed me to be me and those who challenge me to be the best version of myself. Glad that I have chosen to surround myself with/look up to a sisterhood of women that seek to uplift and support other women.”
