African Sisters for Information, Knowledge and Empowerment (ASIKE), grew out of a unified objective to empower women of African descent in metro-Atlanta. ASIKE was established in March of 2005 with a mission to redefine the image of the African woman by empowering women of African descent through Education, information, advocacy and sisterhood. Her members currently represent 12 African nations, the Caribbean and the United States of America
