Sisterhood in Education

About the Book

In Sisterhood in Education, Dr. McKea Cooper-Miller brings voice to a powerful truth: the relationships between Black Women Educators and Mentors and Black girls are not just meaningful—they are transformative. Blending personal narratives, scholarly knowledge and information, and wisdom, this book explores how mentorship, representation, and culturally responsive care can radically shift educational outcomes for Black girls.

With over 15 years of experience in education and the knowledge grounded in her doctoral research, Dr. Cooper-Miller offers a blueprint for affirming, healing, and liberating learning spaces. Each chapter explores themes such as identity, belonging, curriculum reform, emotional wellness, and leadership—while centering the voices and lived experiences of Black women and girls.

More than a critique, Sisterhood in Education is a call to action. It challenges Educators and Mentors, school leaders, and community members to reimagine mentorship as a sustained action empowered in authenticity, cultural pride, and care. Whether you are a teacher, policymaker, mentor, or parent, this book offers the tools to build a future where every Black girl is seen, supported, and empowered to lead.

This is not just a book—it’s a movement. Let’s build it together.
