A group of 14 Black American women, known as Sistahs to the Summit, made history two weeks ago when they conquered Mount Kilimanjaro. The tallest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world, Mount Kilimanjaro is a dormant volcano located in Tanzania.
The ladies of Sistahs to the Summit appeared on “CBS Mornings” to discuss the difficulty of the journey and their plans to make history. The women, who are all Black women, range in age from 31 to 53.
All of this began when Erica, who was turn 50 soon, proposed hiking Mount Kilimanjaro to her friends. Erica mentioned that she and a friend have been discussing it for almost five years. Erica felt that climbing a mountain in Africa would be the best way to celebrate her birthday in style. This started the formation of their eight-day journey.
