Sister Soldier Project

Myraline Morris Whitaker founded the Sister Soldier Project out of her desire to fulfill a specific need for our Sister Soldiers. Whitaker found that critical ethnic personal hair care products, products important to the quality of life for these women, were simply not available through normal channels during their tours of duty in the Middle East theatre of U.S. military operations.

Whitaker also discovered that the Sister Soldiers were requesting, in their letters and emails home, specific such hair care brands — by name — more than any other category of products.

Whitaker began to buy such products at retail, shipping to individual Sister Soldiers whose names and requests she obtained from www.anysoldier.com. She enlisted the aid of friends and local women’s organizations, which led to group Packing Parties on both coasts, including numerous locations throughout Central and Southern California. (more)
