Sisters of Solidarity

In the fall of 2021, the BWIM staff and board members began to dream about expanding our work. Under the coordination of Associate Director, Lynn Brinkley, BWIM’s mentoring program was becoming increasingly multi-racial, and insights were emerging about the unique needs of women of the global majority serving in Baptist ministry. BWIM seeks to increase the ways we integrate anti-racism into our work and ministries.

Lynn Brinkley recruited a pilot group for a new BWIM program, Sister of Solidarity, with the initial group led by the Rev. Dr. Zina Jacque. We hope that this program will grow and provide the support needed by Black women who are ministering and leading in Baptist spaces.
