About Us
Who We Are
What We Believe
The world often tells us who we should be placing us in roles we never asked for, roles we grew out of, and inscribing identities that don’t fit. It puts limitations on who we can be, defining us by past trauma: by the experiences we’ve lived through, the pain we’ve identified with, and the healing we haven’t yet been able to step into.
Imposter syndrome and shame whisper that we don’t belong, that we’re not enough, that it’s too late. Some of us have reached the point where we don’t trust anyone: not even the professionals who are supposed to help. Some of us have felt hopeless, convinced that nothing will change.
But hope is still here. Faith is still here. Even when trust is hard, even when healing feels impossible, even when society has tried to decide our futures for us, we still get to choose.
✔️ We get to connect. Relationships and support matter. No one should have to walk this journey alone.
✔️ We get to believe. In ourselves, in our futures, and in the possibility of change.
✔️ We get to rise. We are not stuck where we started. We can build something greater.
✔️ We get to heal. Healing is not linear, but every step forward matters.
✔️ We get to thrive. We are more than just our survival; we are walking in our purpose.
Sweet Sisterhood is about reclaiming who we are created to be, taking back our futures, and walking in our true purpose.

Sweet Sisterhood: A Movement, Not Just an Organization
Sweet Sisterhood started because of a survivor’s lived experience, a mother’s lived experience, and the journeys and lived experiences of many other strong women. This isn’t just a nonprofit it’s a movement for women who are ready to rise.
We are not victims. We are not just survivors. We are thrivers, walking testaments to the power of reclaiming our future.
BIO
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.
