Meet Fatima Scipio
Hello, I'm Fatima Scipio, and my journey is defined by a lifelong commitment to empowerment and inspiring positive change. I am an advocate for Multiple Sclerosis and early literacy. I'm a proud Bronx native, and my childhood was a vibrant tapestry of experiences near Yankee Stadium. I reveled in the joy of Double Dutch, lost myself in dance, and discovered the magic of the local library—a place that sparked my curiosity and fired my imagination.
My driving force has always been empowering young people. Today, I serve as the CEO of Young Enterprising Sisters, an online resource dedicated to the growth of girls. I've shared the powerful message that 'anything is possible if you just believe.'
My commitment to making a difference extends to my role as a board member of the Yvonne McCalla Foundation, focused on breast cancer awareness. I've had the honor of being featured on platforms like NBC Positively Black, News 12 New Jersey, and in publications such as Success Magazine, Essence, Redbook magazine, Vista magazine, and the Huffington Post.
My academic journey has been solid, with a Bachelor of Science degree in sociology from Virginia State University and a Master of Science degree in urban affairs from Hunter College. I'm also proud to be a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, reflecting my commitment to community and service.
When I'm not writing or working, you can find me immersed in a good book, gliding on roller skates, or cheering on my son during his football games.
