Sixty-four-year-old Glenda Woolfolk, the founder, CEO and president of local non-profit,
No Sister Left Behind said the archetype of the âstrong Black womanâ can sometimes lead women of the community to go through the challenges of life alone. She seeks to change that.
âIt is a passion of mine to see women well,â Woolfolk said.
Woolfolk has been active in Bakersfield for years: She owns Vi Dora hair extensions which has given
scholarships to local nursing students. Before retiring, she was also an officer with the Department of Corrections and a correctional counselor.
She grew up with a single black mother-, watching the struggles she had to go through, she said.
