ABOUT US

Founded in 2003, the Sisters Empowerment Network, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization that began when the founder Veda Brown called a meeting with a group of her friends to discuss issues and concerns that affect women which included a conversation on devastating impact of domestic violence in the United States and its impact on destroying the cohesiveness in the family unit.
