We’re just getting started and our California non-profit articles of incorporation for the ministry were just approved on May 19th of this year. The IRS filing for qualification for tax-deductible donations and grants is underway (filed June 30th). We do not have the funding to support a phone bank, but you can reach out to any one of the founding Sisters through their ministry emails.
Sister Camilla (right) has built her career around education, empowerment, and sustainable practice. She holds a BA in International Business and a Master’s in Economics Sciences. Her early decision to study business was driven by a desire to create practical, independent pathways rather than pursuing a conventional job.
Following the Masters degree, Camilla launched a project she had long envisioned. What began as a strategic plan evolved into a mission-driven initiative centered on education, sustainability, and community empowerment. She believes in building ventures that create positive environmental and social impact, and she critically evaluates business models that seek only profit without value creation for people and the planet.

Sister Esme (left) has lived a life shaped by movement, resilience, and a search for belonging. Born in Mexico and brought to the United States at the age of five, she grew up navigating language barriers, financial uncertainty, and the invisible fears that often accompany the pursuit of the American dream. Raised among strong women and within a deeply spiritual family, she learned early that survival was often built through community, faith, and creativity. Those experiences left her with a lasting curiosity about healing — not only how people survive hardship, but how they learn to feel whole again.
Her vision for the Sisterhood is grounded in the belief that women thrive when they are allowed spaces where they can feel heard, supported, and fully themselves. Influenced by a family tradition of service — including her grandmother and father, who traveled through remote areas of Mexico offering prayer and hope to others — she sees spirituality not as separation from everyday life, but as something lived through human connection. For Sister Esme, art, meditation, and community are inseparable: they are ways of creating places where people remember they are not alone.
