My name is Brooklynn Porter. I am the Co-founder of Sisters Keeper & Chief Executive Officer of Hope City Records. I have decades of experience as an educator, musician, writer and business woman. I studied African American Studies, Sociology & Education at The Ohio State University. After college, I taught in the school systems for over a decade and then worked as program developer for a local youth mentoring organization. I believe that my assignment from God is to use my expertise to build platforms for Christians to share great uplifting content and help give the world hope. My business partner; Trudy and I chose at this time to create an organization called Sisters Keeper, Where Women, Women-preneurs, Visionaries, Artist, Creatives and Believers can come be embraced and empowered by sisterhood and impact the next generation. Although I have helped many successful businesses streamline their operations and gross millions for their companies, my call and passion is and will always be teaching. To my core I am an educator. Sisters Keeper is something that is near and dear to my heart because it allows me to bring unity amongst my peers, teach the present generation and impact the future leaders of tomorrow. 

​

 I was born and raised in Columbus, OH. During my tenure as an educator I have taught thousands of young people. I believe in shaping the minds of the next generation. I have experienced first hand how powerful building relationships with people can impact the lives of others. Cultivating Godly relationships allows us to see the best of who we are in the eyes of others. As a professional musician I had the opportunity to travel all over the United States working for many different artists. I was one of the most demanded session musicians in my area before taking a break to focus on running my own business and working in corporate America. Sisters Keeper was birthed out of the quest to grow Hope City Records, we were running into a recurring issue. We set out to find an all women band, women producers and professionals. The lack of diversity and opportunity in the industry of music was evident. I retired from being a professional musician/producer over a decade ago and focused my attention on my business career. Unbeknownst to me, after returning back to the music industry, it hadn’t really developed much for women in the field of music, arts and business. It is my hope that Sisters Keeper will bring awareness to more women and empower other women to do whatever it is that they are called to do no matter the general population of that field.

Trudy and I met in 2023 at work. I would have never imagined that our friendship/sisterhood would be such as it is today. The gift of trust and transparency cannot be shared with just anyone. We had an instant connection and it has been an amazing ride with my sister. I’ve learned a long time ago that in order to have a healthy, sustaining friendship, there needs to be complete authenticity and happiness for one another. There are some things in life that only women understand and to have another Christ-centered woman in your life that loves you unconditionally is what I hope every woman experiences in their lifetime. Friendship and sisterhood requires unconditional love, because we are human. As human beings we will not always get it right, say the right things, agree on everything and or always have kumbaya moments but this is where you see who loves you for you, and not for what you can do for them. It's a blessing to have a special friend-sister that sees you, and knows when something could be on your mind or bothering you. We both know when to do a sister check in with one another. We take the time to sit with each other and listen to one another. To have that is an incredible blessing. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her and I undoubtedly know there’s nothing she wouldn’t do for me and for that I honor her as my sister. Trudy has recharged by hope and faith in humanity. My purpose is safe with her. The validation and affirmation that comes from being truly seen by another person is what makes community and especially sisterhood so powerful and meaningful. I am forever grateful for my amazing sister Trudy and she is so very special to me and we are going to do amazing things through God for his purpose for many years to come!
