Healing Black Women Leaders: Transforming Nonprofit Workplace Narratives
EmpowHer Women's Academy addresses misogynoir in nonprofits through therapeutic healing spaces for Black women leaders and transformative education for boards and executives.
Black women nonprofit leaders face systemic workplace trauma - 90% report health impacts, 50% consider leaving. EmpowHer Women's Academy intervenes through three strategies: therapeutic healing spaces (Forum, monthly group therapy), shame-free board education, and intensive joint training (UBUNTU Initiative). We provide clinical mental health support, professional development, and $50,000 organizational transformation grants. This isn't documentation - it's direct intervention rebuilding the systems harming Black women leaders while healing those most impacted.
