Never a truer word was spoken, when it was said that beside every great man, stands a great woman. Wise words indeed from a past generation, words which are as meaningful today as the day they were uttered. Whilst a Mo Bro may grow, it is the Mo Sista that is often the driving force, first planting the seed (of an idea) and then carefully working away behind the scenes of fine moustachery for the 30 days of Movember.
A Mo Sista is essentially a woman who loves a Mo. An individual that is dedicated to supporting the Mo Bros in her life through their moustache growing journey; whether it be a friend, colleague, family member, partner or boyfriend. These inspirational women are committed to raising awareness of men's health issues and much needed funds for men's health along the way.
At Movember we acknowledge the Mo Sistahood and celebrate their role as purveyors of fine moustaches.
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING A MO SISTATo be a Mo Sista is to be an agent for change. It's not an exaggeration to say that without Mo Sistas, Movember would never have achieved the success it has to date. For many Mo Bros, the thought of growing a moustache can be a daunting one. They may be concerned about how they will look with their newly acquired facial friend, nervous as to whether they are capable of growing a Mo or apprehensive about the commitment it takes to grow a Mo for the full 30 days of Movember. Mo Sistas play a vital role in supporting the journey, not least by being supportive of their courageous commitment. A kind word of encouragement, a wink or a smile of recognition can go a long way to helping a Mo Bro as he navigates the month of Movember – this may be particularly true in the first few weeks when growth can, for some, be a little bit slow. | |
| Mo Sistas also have an important role in helping men to break down barriers and talk about their health. Women are traditionally more comfortable when it comes to talking about these matters, so can be great facilitators in supporting the Mo Bros in their life to share their personal journeys with each other, or a health care professional. Getting men to better understand the risks they face is key for Movember and Mo Sistas are key to helping get men’s health messages to Mo Bros. After all, Knowledge is power.
