Where We Build Our Own table!
“I Am Her, So Who Are You?” Started because we saw the urgent need to support Black women facing deep and often unspoken struggles—drug abuse, domestic violence, low self-esteem, suicide, and other challenges that impact the community. We recognized that too many women suffer in silence, feeling alone in their pain, while society overlooks or dismisses their experiences.
This campaign was born out of a desire to break that silence, to create a safe space where Black women can share their stories, find support, and know they are not alone. You wanted to bring awareness to the high statistics surrounding these issues and inspire change by fostering conversations, building a sisterhood, and advocating for resources that uplift and heal.
At its core, your mission is about unity, empowerment, and resilience. Every woman wears the same pair of heels—we just walk different streets. But through this movement, you are ensuring that no woman has to walk alone anymore.
“I Am Her” was founded as a response to the urgent need for a dedicated space where Black women could find support, empowerment, and advocacy in the face of discrimination, oppression, and personal struggles. Rooted in the strength, resilience, and power of Black women throughout history, our organization is committed to breaking barriers and uplifting those who have been silenced, overlooked, or marginalized.
Our journey began with a simple yet powerful realization: Black women deserve safe spaces where their voices are heard, their experiences are validated, and their well-being is prioritized. From that understanding, we created a movement that provides resources, community, and leadership opportunities to help Black women heal, grow, and thrive.
Through mentorship, advocacy, financial empowerment, and mental health support, “I Am Her” continues to be a beacon of hope and transformation for women across the nation.
We are the women who have survived.
We are the women who have been told we are too much, yet never enough.
We are the women who refuse to be silenced, erased, or ignored.
We are the daughters of strength, the sisters of resilience, the mothers of change.
At “I Am Her,” we stand together in solidarity to:
• Support Black women facing domestic violence, discrimination, and workplace harassment.
• Advocate for mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and self-esteem empowerment.
• Build financial independence and career opportunities for lasting economic security.
• Uplift each other through mentorship, leadership development, and community action.
“I Am Her” means that we see you, we hear you, and we stand with you.
You are not alone. You are powerful. You are HER.
Join us in the movement—because when one of us rises, we all rise.
“I Am Her” It represents the strength, resilience, and power of Black women who have faced adversity and risen above it. From overcoming discrimination and workplace harassment to battling mental health struggles, domestic violence, and self-doubt, we stand together in solidarity. We are the voices that refuse to be silenced, the leaders shaping change, and the sisters uplifting one another. This is our story, our fight, and our victory. Because when one of us rises, we all rise. #IAmHer.”
How Mental Health Affects Black Women
Mental health challenges among Black women are often overlooked, dismissed, or stigmatized. Many face unique stressors such as racial and gender discrimination, financial instability, family responsibilities, and trauma from domestic violence, abuse, or substance misuse. The pressure to be “strong” can make it difficult to seek help, leading to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Limited access to culturally competent mental health care, distrust of medical institutions, and societal expectations only deepen the crisis, leaving many to suffer in silence.
What the Black Women’s Council Is Doing About It
The Black Women’s Council is committed to breaking the stigma around mental health and ensuring that Black women have the resources, support, and safe spaces they need to heal. Our initiatives include:
• Awareness & Education: Hosting workshops, panels, and community discussions to normalize conversations around mental health.
• Safe Spaces for Healing: Creating support groups where women can share their stories without judgment.
• Access to Resources: Partnering with Black therapists, life coaches, and mental health professionals who understand the cultural and social experiences of Black women.
• Advocacy for Change: Pushing for policy changes that increase access to affordable, culturally competent mental health care.
• Empowerment Initiatives: Encouraging self-care, self-worth, and personal growth through mentorship and empowerment programs.
The time for silence is over. We are here to uplift, support, and stand together—because every woman deserves to be heard, healed, and whole.
Domestic violence is not just a personal struggle—it’s a crisis that affects families, communities, and generations. At “I Am Her,” we stand with survivors, providing a safe space for healing, resources for rebuilding, and a voice for those who have been silenced. No woman should have to endure abuse alone. Through advocacy, support networks, and empowerment programs, we are breaking the cycle of violence and helping women reclaim their strength, freedom, and independence. You are not alone. You are powerful. You are HER.
Addiction does not define you—your strength, resilience, and ability to heal do. At “I Am Her,” we recognize that Black women facing substance abuse often battle stigma, lack of support, and limited access to resources. We are here to change that. Through compassionate community support, recovery resources, and empowerment programs, we help women regain control of their lives and rebuild with dignity. No matter where you are in your journey, you are not alone. Healing is possible, and we are here to walk with you every step of the way.
