The Black Healing Collective

BOARD OF DIRECTORS VICE PRESIDENT

The Black Healing Collective is a sanctuary—a space where Black women and femmes are seen, held, and supported in their journey toward healing, wholeness, and liberation. We exist to challenge the systems that harm us while building the resources and communities that sustain us. Through direct support, mutual aid, and radical care, we provide access to therapy, rent assistance, and holistic wellness resources, ensuring that Black women and femmes never have to choose between survival and healing. We believe in the power of community care, the necessity of rest, and the reclamation of pleasure as a tool for liberation.

This work is more than a mission—it’s a movement. And we’re looking for passionate, purpose-driven individuals to join us in building a world where Black women and femmes thrive.
