Angela Navarro is the Director of Sweet Sisterhood, an organization committed to empowering women, particularly minority women, and recognizing their crucial role as the backbone of the community. She understands firsthand the need for survivor-led trauma recovery, bringing both personal experience and unwavering dedication to this work.

Hailing from Ohio, her life has been marked by years of compounded trauma. The grief of losing her mother profoundly shaped her mission, deepening her empathy for women facing similar challenges and fueling her determination to create lasting change.

With lived experience as her foundation, she has learned to tell her story over time—not just as a survivor, but as a leader. Her education is survivor-based, rooted in resilience and real-life lessons, and she has gone on to pursue higher education to stay informed and better serve the women she connects with.

At the helm of Sweet Sisterhood, her focus is to develop programs specifically for survivors of trauma, creating real change in how women and their children heal. This work is about saving lives—because broken hearts and unhealed trauma kill women. The mission is not just to provide resources but to reshape the systems that determine how survivors recover, grow, and lead.

Sweet Sisterhood aims to create lasting change by opening doors for survivors to step into leadership roles, ensuring that those who have lived through trauma are the ones shaping the solutions.

In her personal life, faith and family remain central. Her relationship with God has been a source of transformation, emphasizing growth, healing, and service. Healing, for her, is an ongoing journey, and she finds peace and joy in time spent with her family and animals. More than a career, this work is a calling—one that allows her to honor her mother’s memory through empowerment, connection, and breaking cycles of trauma.
