May is the month of movement—a transition period between Spring and Summer where we accept the closing of one season and invite another into our lives. This month, move through fear just like water. Come up to the surface more resilient.

The BlackFemaleProject Podcast Reflection Collection is a curated spotlight of some of our most powerful podcast episodes that offer wisdom around work, wellness, and the realities Black women are navigating in the world today. 

Happy International Black Women’s History Month! Created in 2016 by tech consultant Sha Battle, the holiday is a celebration of the achievements, history, and contributions of Black women in society. This April, celebrate not only the influential Black women in your life. Make room to celebrate yourself, regardless of where you are in your journey.

In celebration of Women’s History Month, BlackFemaleProject joined TAP Wine Lounge for their monthly event, Wine Women Win which invites Black women business owners and other locals to learn about services, resources, potential partnerships, and more while enjoying wine and networking. 

On February May 28th BlackFemaleProject joined Black Vines at the 15th Annual Festival at Ciel Creative Space in Berkeley, California. We are the proud non-profit partner of Black Vines and spent the day soaking up the energy of culture, connection, and of course wine. The entire space was buzzing with wine makers, artists, musicians, and wine lovers. 

This year, we created a number of exciting ways for the community to engage and stay connected with us. There was a raffle for a pair of tickets to the 2027 Black Vines experience and a giveaway of our 10th anniversary tee.

In a world that too often dismisses feelings as unreliable, we, as Black women, know that feelings are sometimes the truest, non-tangible thing in the room. Intuition is protection for women, both a skill and a guiding force that points us to safety.

On January 21st, our 2026 event calendar kicked off with our 4th annual New Year Visioning event entitled Imagine That: a guided vision board experience and dream space. This powerful workshop is beloved for its offering of space to dream, space to connect, and a curated playlist that keeps the energy flowing.

The practice of self-love in our lives builds our capacity for not only treating ourselves better but also properly giving and receiving the love that we deserve. This February, we’ve curated a series of resources to help you reclaim your power with self-love, fall more in love with yourself, and fill your cup with care and affection.

Welcome into 2026. January reminds us that growth does not require urgency; it requires presence, imagination, and trust in what’s unfolding. May this month be a reminder that dreaming is an act of resistance, joy, and Black womanhood.

Consider who you would be if you gave yourself the space to explore, find yourself, and make mistakes freely. This December, try holding space for practice, for building a process, and give yourself the grace to make mistakes.

We invite you to reflect on where you feel most seen and supported. Practice leaning into those circles of trust and gratitude, and remember: being in community with one another is not just healing work—it’s revolutionary.

Yes, our time on this planet is limited, and it’s important that we make use of it. In order to show up for ourselves or anyone else, though, it’s vital that we create opportunities for rest, relaxation, and restoration. Our joy and our imagination rely on it.

Our ancestors left behind all sorts of literature and other resources that can help us find our way through difficult moments, and our living elders so often make themselves available to provide insights they’ve acquired along their own journeys. As you head into September, consider the ways in which you tap into sources of wisdom and how you might return the favor by sharing your wisdom with others.

Since the birth of BlackFemaleProject in 2014, we’ve seen example after example of the benefit to be gained from choosing to support one another rather than compete. We continue to believe in and experience the power of collaboration, community, and cooperation.

[…] Despite the overwhelming value placed on individual success, we at BlackFemaleProject are committed to collective wellness. We consistently see how powerful it is to join forces and build momentum together.

Capitalism thrives on high speed, but if we can disconnect from the 24 hour news cycle and the stream of ads that constantly confronts us, we’ll see that nature models something different for us—a slower pace and a balance of energies.

Especially as Black women in a society that consistently favors Whiteness and maleness, we have to be intentional in order to quiet the noise around us, prioritize ourselves, and determine what we personally want to normalize and practice in our own daily lives.

On April 11th, we hosted our 3rd annual book event with Dr. Wendi Williams. The Majestic Place Book Launch invited Black women leaders to engage in conversation and small bites as we explored the experiences of Black women at work and the need to cultivate spaces where we can thrive.
