This week, we stand in celebration and deep gratitude for our CEO & Founder, Cherisse Scott, recipient of the Audre Lorde Honoree Award at the 7th Annual Legacy Awards Gala taking place this Friday, hosted by Wecaretn.

For more than two decades, Cherisse has moved with conviction and clarity—educating, advocating, and fighting for Reproductive and Sexual Justice in spaces that were never built with us in mind.

As the visionary behind SisterReach, Inc. and now SisterReach Illinois, she has transformed what it means to lead with faith, power, and truth. Her legacy is not only in the policies she’s shaped or the programs she’s built, but in the lives she’s touched and the futures she’s made possible.

To be honored in the name of Audre Lorde—a fierce Black feminist who taught us that using our voice is an act of survival—is a full-circle moment for a leader who has never been afraid to speak truth to power.

Congratulations, Cherisse. You are our living legacy.

Hey friends and family!
Our founder & CEO, Cherisse Scott sat down this morning with Tonya Reneé Dyson and on WYXR and shared about the upcoming concert Memphis Soul Festival Presents Lalah Hathaway — Powered by SisterReach, Inc.

We are unfortunately having to CANCEL the show due to low ticket sales.

We get it. There so much going on right now. And EVERY dollar we have access to counts to save and preserve our lives, our families, and the communities we love, live, and serve in.

Tickets are refundable, and we’re excited to share that we’ll have another opportunity to bring her back soon — for all of us to enjoy and to continue supporting a life-saving cause that uplifts women, children, and families navigating crisis in Memphis, TN.

Thank you to every person who bought a ticket. Your sacrifice was not in vain and you'll have another opportunity to support us, meet and fellowship with us!

Consider donating to forward our work at www.sisterreach.org We appreciate you and love you!
