COMMUNITY
We believe in the power of collective healing. Our work is rooted in creating safe, supportive spaces where women of the African Diaspora can come together, share their stories, and build a network of sisterhood.
We foster unity and connection, recognizing that individual healing is amplified through communal empowerment.
EDUCATION
We are committed to trauma-informed education that equips women with the knowledge and tools to navigate their healing journeys.
Through workshops, outreach programs, and resources, we provide culturally relevant education that empowers women and young people alike to reclaim their strength, embrace their worth, and live abundantly.
HEALING-CENTERED ENGAGEMENT (HCE)
At the heart of our work is a healing-centered approach that honors the whole person.
We engage with survivors in ways that acknowledge their experiences, promotes resilience, and supports emotional, physical, and spiritual recovery.
Our programs focus on addressing trauma at its root, while uplifting women towards self-empowerment and transformation.
In our preventative work, we engage young people where they are that they may know their footprint has a far greater standing in the World than the one they see.
We value a culturally-rooted and an asset-based approach to healing and wellbeing for young people of color and their adult allies based on the work of Dr. Shawn Cartwright who founded the philosophy and process.
HCE is an non-clinical approach that advances a holistic view of healing and re-centers culture and identity as a central feature in personal wellness that confronts racism and racial inequity by examining an individual's core values, beliefs, and their impact on interpersonal relationships; and their relationships to systems, institutions, policies, and practices.
* We define Women of the African Diaspora as:
Black Women who are American Descendants of enslaved Africans, African & African Immigrants, Afro-Caribbean & Afro-Latino/as
