1995 - The Sister II Sister Program
In 1995, Dr. Nicole Steele co-founded a mentoring program which preceded Diamond In The Rough, called Sister II Sister. It was developed in conjunction with the Eastside Carver Boys and Girls Club, in East Atlanta, to provide weekly meetings, mentoring, group activities and fieldtrips to a select group of girls.
2001 - Write the Vision
As the original members of Sister II Sister began to graduate from the program, research and development began for a larger, structured version of Sister II Sister. Designed to reach a larger base of girls throughout Georgia and eventually around the World.
