Who is Sister Cities Project?

(SCP) is a non-profit organization founded by Shawn McClondon and supported by residents from Solana Beach 4 Equality, Encinitas 4 Equality and Del Mar pushing for greater diversity and racial equity in San Diego County and beyond. One of the goals of SCP is to provide, support, and create an atmosphere in which economic and community development can be implemented and strengthened.

Sister Cities Project (SCP) understands the vital role we can play locally by supporting black women owned businesses in underserved communities. The majority of our impact work is focused on this demographic of important entrepreneurs.

To gain first-hand insight, SCP is hosting the first ever San Diego Black Women Entrepreneurs Summit Series. This event will bring together prominent black women entrepreneurs into a series of four panel discussions, with influential guest speakers and black women entrepreneurs. This event will be moderated by two San Diego powerhouses, , CEO of the Multi-Cultural Convention Services Network, and , Chief Ecosystem Architect for Sister Cities Project and D4 Diamond BID. We will take a deep dive into our panelists' journey.

• Black Women Leaders
