Checkout the wellness resources we’ve found for a more connected and balanced January.

Questions of sameness and difference are so often oversimplified. We sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that, as Black women, we inevitably share perspectives and inclinations.

When you create the space to imagine beyond the day-to-day grind and the need to simply keep up, what possibilities can you dream up for your life? This month's Wellness Calendar resources invite you to tap into the expansiveness of your imagination.

As the season of coming together, acting generously, and expressing gratitude continues, we’re feeling especially grateful for the Black women who came before us—the women whose stories continue to serve as lamp posts as we navigate our own journeys.

Whatever space we step into, Black women bring our unique and innovative flair along with us. We’re known for crafting creative solutions and figuring out how to call in abundance when resources seem limited.

At her powerful and personal event, My Black Food Justice Story, our friend, Ms. Phyllis Bowie, guided us through the story of her food journey, from greens to black-eyed peas!

One of the most fulfilling aspects of working with BlackFemaleProject is the ways our work culture embodies the values we emphasize through our programming and communications. We know that the best way to inspire the women in our network to believe in a different kind of work life is to model it ourselves.

All people deserve to have relationships, networks, and workplace environments where they feel comfortable being themselves. For Black women in particular, the importance of identifying spaces where we can show up and add value without dimming or contorting ourselves is vital. As we’re rarely granted the grace to be our full, glorious selves without consequence, BlackFemaleProject curates the spaces we need, and we invite other women to join us in finding refuge.

I believe in BlackFemaleProject because I have a Black daughter, and Black women are held to a completely different standard as soon as they walk into the room.

I believe in the mission because I am a Black professional woman with my own unique experience. I know we need more spaces in this world that do just this. I believe in the mission because of the Black women that I know who have called in what they need in terms of either support or awareness.
