Strategic sessions that go deeper than awareness.

University and Corporate Workshops

Sisters Protect delivers values-led workshops for universities, museums, and organisations seeking to engage female students meaningfully, beyond panel conversations. We have different models depending on your type of organisation and needs. Our partner workshops are curated to reflect real experiences, nuanced challenges, and practical reflection - shaped by the lived realities of navigating identity and professionalism across different institutions

University Workshops

Workshops tailored for university students, particularly female black students navigating higher education and career preparation. We address everything from code-switching to academic burnout, equipping students with strategy, language, and clarity as they prepare to enter professional spaces. These sessions help institutions support Black students beyond access - by focusing on transition, retention, and long-term well-being.

Ally Workshops

Designed for teams and individuals who want to move beyond performative allyship. These sessions unpack what allyship looks like in daily practice - from handling microaggressions to navigating power, privilege, and proximity. Participants leave with sharper awareness, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of what it means to show up meaningfully in and beyond the workplace.

HR / Leadership Workshops

For leadership teams, managers, and HR professionals looking to embed long-term equity into their culture. We focus on the real gaps between policy and experience, using case-based dialogue, language deconstruction, and scenario strategy. Focused on creating psychologically safe teams, ethical leadership cultures, and sustainable inclusion practices, these sessions provide a brave space to reframe repetitional risk, retention, and inclusion in ways that support staff.

Why Institutions Book Us

Sisters Protect workshops are designed to offer more than awareness.

We provide an informed, thoughtful approach that supports meaningful engagement and long-term cultural growth.

Our sessions are structured to:

  • Strengthen your organisation’s confidence in engaging with race, gender, and workplace culture in a sensitive and practical way

  • Equip teams and leaders with tools that support equity, clarity, and emotional wellbeing in professional spaces

  • Create a safe, respectful environment where honest reflection and progress can happen without judgement or discomfort

  • Facilitate students transition from higher education to the true realities of working life as a black woman to give them the best start. We also cultivate a positive entrant mindset for students.

  • Support the understanding of neurodivergence, how it shows up in the workplace, and black women alike.

Whether you are early in your inclusion journey or looking to deepen existing efforts, our sessions are adaptable, impactful, and designed to meet you where you are while moving you forward at a comfortable pace.

We focus on:

  • Organisational insight into structural issues affecting Black women

  • Practical tools and frameworks to support inclusion efforts long after the session ends

  • Honest, structured dialogue that strengthens your institutional approach - without performative language or shame-based tactics

Black History Month Engagements

Each October in the UK, and February in the U.S., many organisations seek meaningful ways to engage with Black communities through talks, panels, or programming. Sisters Protect offers a refined approach to Black History Month - one rooted in structure, insight, and relevance to the realities of working life.

We offer tailored workshops and conversations that:

  • Focus on the lived experiences of Black women in professional environments

  • Prioritise strategy, well-being, and workplace equity over awareness alone

  • Equip audiences with applicable tools, not just passive reflection

Please contact us if this collaboration sounds and feels right.

OUR JOURNAL ADD ON AS A TOOL

As an optional enhancement to your booking, organisations can provide attendees with 'Introspection: A Corporate Survival Journal' - a structured 46 week workbook designed to support personal clarity, strategic thinking, and emotional resilience in the workplace.

Our journal is also suitable for any professional navigating complex intersections of identity, performance, and wellbeing. Decompress your work week, do not let it build up and fester.

We highly recommend this as a tool for students to use.

Frequently asked questions

How do we book a session?

Email us at: workshops@sistersprotect.com . We’ll arrange a short call to confirm your needs, timeline, pricing, and delivery format. Once confirmed, we’ll send a booking confirmation, a booking agreement, and an invoice to your designated officer and AP Clerk. Please do let us know if your institution requires a purchase order number on your invoices.

What types of sessions do you offer for institutions?

We offer structured workshops, reflective sessions, and tailored strategy conversations. These can be delivered to student groups, staff teams, leadership, or specific internal networks (e.g. Black staff networks, ACS, DEI teams).

For Universities we have two engaging signature workshops that students will greatly benefit from.

Are your workshops available in-person or online?

Both. We deliver sessions in-person (London-based or travel-supported) and virtually via live, facilitator-led formats. We’ll discuss the best option based on your team, location, and objectives. We do have a preference for in person engagement. However, we are adaptable to your needs.

How long is a typical session?

Most sessions are between 90 and 120 minutes. We also offer half-day formats for deeper strategy development, if requested. However, our sessions are insightful that we tend to deeply cover in 90-120 minutes what other companies loosely cover in half-days. By booking Sisters Protect you get quality over quantity.

Do you run sessions outside of Black History Month?

Yes. We deliver workshops throughout the year. While Black History Month is a popular request period, our work centres around sustainable inclusion — not seasonal visibility.

Can you help us plan Black History Month programming?

Yes. We offer tailored, professional sessions suitable for Black History Month. Depending on your audience and objectives we can support you with effective strategising and consulting.

Can you support our museum, gallery, or heritage project?

Yes. We work with cultural institutions on public engagement, staff learning, and internal development. We focus on emotional clarity, reflection, and strategy — not display or performance. Depending on objectives and respective audiences we tailor the art forms of our physical workshop presentations.

I run a Black staff network at my organisation. Can we book you directly?

Absolutely. Many of our workshops are booked by internal networks or affinity groups. We’ll work with you to shape a session that meets your goals and reflects your membership.

I run an ACS at university. Can we book a session for our society?

Yes. We run student-facing workshops, especially for African-Caribbean societies and cultural networks. These can focus on preparing for work, identity in the workplace, or internal support strategies.

What outcomes can we expect from a session?

Participants leave with clearer language, sharper workplace insight, and a structured resource for continued reflection. They also feel more prepared, motivated, and better integrated into society for what it is and what it will positively be one day. For teams, sessions often prompt improved cultural responsiveness and better alignment around inclusion values. We mitigate reputational risk by engaging clients with strategic insight and corporate fluency.

Can we bulk order journals for our event or workshop?

Yes. Our Introspection journal can be included as an optional add-on to any booking. We offer reduced pricing for bulk orders in partnership with institutional events or booked learning sessions/workshops. We can also discuss bulk purchases in isolation. We also welcome discussions around journal licensing opportunities.

We are not based in the United Kingdom — can we still book a workshop?

Yes. We work with international universities and multinational organisations. Some choose virtual delivery for accessibility, but we also welcome in-person invitations abroad. Travel and accommodation would need to be covered, and we are happy to discuss logistics, budgets, and availability during your initial consultation, post email enquiry.

We loved your session! Can we book you again?

Absolutely! Please email us at: workshops@sistersprotect.com
