- Glenda smiles at her sister Linda after I ask them about what it’s like working together at the non-profit. ” As I often tell her, I don’t know how I would make it without her,” she says.
- In this story, 23ABC’s Ava Kershner sits down with the sisters behind the organization, No Sister Left Behind.
Meet Glenda and Linda.
Two sisters from Bakersfield running the non profit No Sister Left Behind.
An organization that focuses on the wellbeing of black women, and improving “ Their mind, you know we focus on determination, their mindset, on mindfulness,” said Glenda Woolfolk, CEO, President, and Founder of No Sister Left Behind.
No Sister Left Behind works with organizations like Kern Family Healthcare and City Serve to provide healing heart trauma peer groups and support for black women getting a higher education.
And it was all inspired by their mother, who according to her daughters, was the definition of determination.
“Our mom raised us, and she was a janitor. And she decided because times were getting rough, she decided to go back to school, to nursing school and get her LVN license. And that allowed us to be able to purchase a car, we never had a car she never drove, so it was really a blessing to our family,” said Linda Factory, the Financial Officer for No Sister Left Behind.
