About Us
Black Women Benefit (BWB) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with a mission to embrace, empower, and invest in Black Women. Our organization provides bimonthly emergency financial awards and free wellness workshops to Black Women throughout the United States. In 2021, we expanded our offerings to include free group therapy for Black women in Maryland, and as of this year, we will have at least three free therapy cohorts.
Our overarching goal is to enact our mission so well that we don’t need to exist one day. We believe as we grow and execute the three pillars– embrace, empower, invest, our goal will be achieved sooner rather than later with your help.

“I need to see my own beauty and to continue to be reminded that I am enough, that I am worthy of love without effort, that I am beautiful, that the texture of my hair and that the shape of my curves, the size of my lips, the color of my skin, and the feelings that I have are all worthy and okay.”
