Our Mission in a Moment
Hey Girl Hey Nation Foundation, Inc. exists to nurture the wholeness of Black women. Through self-care, sisterhood, and intentional community, we create spaces where Black women can breathe, heal, lead, and be fully themselves—without shrinking, code-switching, or carrying it all alone.
Who we center
Black women of every age, story, and season—students, mamas, aunties, leaders, creatives, caregivers, and elders.
If you’re longing for rest, real connection, and a village that gets it, you’re in the right place.
What We Do
We design spaces and experiences that make Black women feel held, seen, and poured into—mind, body, and spirit.
Sisterhood Events & Retreats
From cozy gatherings to weekend retreats, we create soft spaces for rest, joy, and real talk—away from the noise and expectations.
Self-Care & Wellness Education
Workshops, resources, and conversations that center mental health, emotional healing, and rest as resistance for Black women.
Leadership & Personal Development
Coaching, circles, and experiences that help Black women lead from a place of wholeness—not burnout.
Community Outreach
Partnerships, service projects, and giving initiatives that pour back into the communities we come from and care for.
Impact That Feels Like Home
Our impact isn’t just numbers—it’s exhale moments. It’s women leaving events feeling lighter. It’s group chats where sisters check in on each other. It’s leaders choosing rest instead of running on empty.
- Women finding therapists, coaches, and healing resources they never knew were available to them.
- Friendships that continue long after the retreat ends or the event is over.
- Black women in leadership choosing sustainable rhythms over constant grind.
- Communities receiving care, donations, and support through our outreach and partnerships.

Our Full Mission
Hey Girl Hey Nation Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering Black women through self-care, sisterhood, and intentional community. We offer programs, events, and resources that promote mental wellness, emotional healing, and personal growth—cultivating a strong, supportive network of women nationwide.
We believe Black women deserve spaces where we are not just surviving, but deeply supported—emotionally, spiritually, and practically. Every gathering, text, workshop, and outreach initiative is rooted in that belief.
Vision & Values
Our vision is a world where Black women are deeply resourced, connected, and affirmed—leading lives rooted in joy, rest, and community, not constant survival mode.
Community
We design circles, not stages. Everyone has something to give and something to receive in this sisterhood.
Healing
We honor grief, joy, and everything in between. Healing is not rushed here; it’s supported.
Empowerment
We equip Black women with tools, language, and support to set boundaries, lead well, and choose themselves.
Intentional Sisterhood
We don’t do surface-level networking. We nurture deep, honest, covenant-style relationships.
Why We Exist
Black women are often expected to be the strong friend, the backbone, the fixer, the one who holds it all together. That weight is real—and it comes with emotional, physical, and spiritual costs.
We created Hey Girl Hey Nation Foundation so Black women would have somewhere to go with all of that. A place where you can lay your cape down, be honest about what hurts, and receive real care, community, and tools to heal.
We’re here because:
- Black women deserve soft landings, not just strong shoulders.
- Our mental health and emotional well-being are sacred.
- We heal faster and deeper in community, not isolation.
- When Black women are well, families and communities thrive.

We offer workshops and series that center the mental, emotional, and spiritual health of Black women. Sessions are led by therapists, coaches, wellness practitioners, and faith leaders who honor our lived experiences.
- Mental health and therapy education for Black women
- Boundaries, burnout, and emotional regulation tools
- Faith, healing, and holistic wellness conversations
- Practical self-care plans for real-life schedules
Leadership & Personal Development
We pour into Black women leaders—at home, at work, in ministry, and in community—so you don’t have to choose between purpose and peace.
Through cohorts, coaching circles, and tailored workshops, we help you clarify your calling, protect your capacity, and lead from a grounded, healed place.
Community Outreach & Partnerships
We collaborate with churches, nonprofits, businesses, and community groups to bring sisterhood-centered programming, care, and resources directly to Black women and families.
Outreach may include care packages, community conversations, service days, and special initiatives that respond to what our communities are facing in real time.
