Meet The Women
The architects of this work are not figureheads—they are freedom dreamers, truth tellers, and movement organizers. Each woman carries the wisdom of her lineage and the vision to lead us forward. Explore their stories, and let their journeys inspire your own.

Our Blueprint for a Liberated South
A liberated South is one where Black women are not just surviving, but thriving, leading with vision, holding institutional power, living in safety, and shaping narratives rooted in truth. It looks like our people cared for, our voices respected, and our communities resourced. This blueprint is both a declaration and a roadmap, born from our lived experiences, spiritual wisdom, and generational dreams.
