We believe in change
We began Black Women Benefit (BWB) to address the inequities that Black women face in the justice system, workforce, health care system, and beyond. After becoming disillusioned with the outcomes of the murders of Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, Oluwatoyin Salau, and countless other Black women, Kyaira and Courtne felt compelled to create a safe space specifically designed for and in support of Black women. Oftentimes, Black women create movements (Me Too, Black Lives Matter, etc) for the benefit of all, but fail to receive similar support; hence, our mission became to embrace, empower, and invest into all Black women.
Our three pillared approach aims to:
As our programs expand and evolve under our pillars one thing will not our dedication to benefitting every Black woman possible. If our mission resonates with you please consider donating a $5 reoccurring donation.
“Self-esteem means knowing you are the dream.”

Empower
BWB empowers Black women through the following free mental health services: “The Healing Circle”, ” Group Therapy Town Halls”, and “Healing Together”.
