Here's the Sitch (aka Situation):
Following her 2nd fashion show to raise breast cancer awareness among Black women, Power In Pink founder, Dafina Morris, created My Sister's Keyp'her to expand the ways she could support and uplift Black women.
She wanted the initiative to serve as a hub for Black women to enjoy empowering events, engage with educational content and share experiences regarding a variety of health issues. For My Sister's Keyp'her's launch, Dafina wanted to host an intimate an intimate conversation for women of color (millennials to early 40s) to relax under the sun, and engage in activities that spark conversations about: balancing "trying to have it all" with self-care, uplifting one another and the power of networking/mentorship.
Our Approach:
Because Dafina had been known for her breast cancer awareness advocacy, it was essential for us to develop solid messaging and consult on identity qualities (i.e. a logo) that clearly My Sister's Key'her as its own entity.
Additionally, it was important that we strategically and gradually introduced this initiative to Power In Pink's audience, with takeaways that still resonated; and didn't cause disassociation with how they've come to relate to the organization within the past 2 years.
