Sharon Green

Sharon Green is the Executive Director for Sisters Inspiring Sisters (SIS). In her role, Sharon works closely with the Board of Directors and oversees the operations of the program to ensure that Black teen girls receive holistic social and emotional resources and support on their journey to becoming resilient, health-conscious transformational leaders. Prior to leading the program, Sharon served as a member of the SIS Steering Committee and Program Consultant for 2 years. She was instrumental in partnering with Metropolitan Atlanta school systems as well as under-resourced communities in Meridian Mississippi and Tennessee, to expand the program to multiple schools and communities. Her innovative approach to the development of well-rounded Black girls resulted in SIS’s multi-pronged approach to include the home, school, and community.

In addition to SIS, she is a consultant and strategist for the SonRise Project, a space for parents with children struggling with mental wellness. You can listen to her on The SonRise Podcast on the OWN network along with other experts. Her personal experience with breast cancer inspired her to establish a patient advocacy program to support women of color who are experiencing breast cancer and to also serve as a steering committee member for Project TEACH, an educational program that raises awareness about cancer and clinical trials.
