You’ve Read All the Books on Racism: Now What? Learning, Building, and Committing to a New Cross-Racial Solidarity and Sxsterhood
If nothing else, 2020 and now 2021 are making it clear that we need a comprehensive approach to sisterhood that crosses all races and sexual orientations. But even if your intentions are good, you may not know how to take the first steps, or fear making someone else uncomfortable when you do. Rozella Kennedy, Founder and owner of Brave Sis Project, talks about what to say, do, think — and what not to. She explores how non-BIPOC women can build more trusting and joyful relationships with BIPOC womxn. She shares insights on how to kick start your own set of easy steps toward authentic allyship no matter what your background.

On The Panel
Rozella Kennedy
Rozella (Rozie) Kennedy is the Founder and Owner of Brave Sis Project, which she describes as a “message and a movement of wellness and intercultural sisterhood.” Through publications, events, and lifestyle brand assets, Brave Sis uplifts impactful Women of Color in history across ethnicities as a way of fostering awareness, celebration, and creativity.
Over the years, Rozella has worked across the nonprofit spectrum, holding executive and fundraising roles in the arts, environmental, and social service sectors. She lived in New Mexico for 12 years, starting up three nonprofits (the award-winning Santa Fe New Music, Creative Santa Fe, and the New Mexico Centennial). In her early career in media, she worked for magazines ranging from Paris Passion to Sports Illustrated, Mothering, and Oxygen.com.
A first-gen collegian and a Woman of Color, Rozie is as comfortable in community spaces as in the C-Suite. She has always striven for results, whether in starting a new venture; coaching or training others; introducing new people into circles of allyship and partnership; or serving as a thought-leader, consensus-builder, and when necessary, passionate catalyst for understanding, mutuality, and growth. She is also a published essayist, ghostwriter, and copyeditor.
When she is not attending to Brave Sis, she works to build philanthropic partnerships at the intersection of climate innovation and equity with Elemental Excelerator.
A proud graduate of NYC’s Brearley School, Rozie earned a double degree in English and French from Tufts University and completed her M.A. in French Caribbean Women's Literature at the Université de Paris, Sorbonne. She is a devoted friend, colleague, life partner to her husband, composer/conductor John Kennedy, and mother to two young adult daughters, and one adored Caribbean Potcake Dog, Pippa.
A Brave Sis adult activity book will be published by Workman Press in 2022, along with a second edition of the Journey-Journal and other activities.
