In January 2003 SisterMentors was featured in DIVAS, a magazine for women of color, published in Paris, France. DIVAS is distributed in France, the United States, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. You can read the article in both English and French.

The August 2002 issue of ESSENCE lists organizations nation-wide that empower girls by addressing the areas of education, leadership and self-esteem, health and fitness, politics and activism, entrepreneurship, vocations and careers, and the arts. SisterMentors is highlighted for its mentoring of middle and high school girls of color, instilling in them the benefits of staying in school. (page 129)

In June/July 2000, SisterMentors' founder, Dr. Shireen Lewis, was declared a "Woman to Watch" by Ms. Magazine. Ms. is described by its editors as "the first national magazine to make feminist voices audible, feminist journalism tenable, and a feminist worldview available to the public." R. Erica Doyle, who wrote the piece in Ms., describes Dr. Lewis' creation of SisterMentors as "her antidote to the academy's chronic undervaluing of scholarship by and about women of color."
