A Letter From Our Founder
Hey sis,
I created Black Girls Can Heal because I needed it myself.
I know what it feels like to carry the weight of everyone else’s needs while silently unraveling at the seams. To look strong on the outside while barely holding it together within. I’ve walked through heartbreak, burnout, spiritual dry spells, and seasons where I couldn’t even recognize myself in the mirror. But even in the mess—God met me. And healing began.
This space was born out of my own journey of restoration. A journey where God showed me that healing isn’t just about checking off boxes in therapy. It’s about coming home to yourself, body, mind, and spirit. It’s about giving yourself permission to rest, to feel, to question, to be soft, to be still. And most importantly—it’s about letting God rewrite the narrative.
As a mental health clinician, believer in Christ, and woman who’s been through the fire, I created this space to serve women like you—because you deserve support that sees all of you. The spiritual you. The tired you. The powerful you. The healing you.
This is more than a brand. This is a movement. A sacred reawakening. A reminder that healing is your birthright—and you don’t have to walk alone.
I’m so honored to journey with you.
With love & purpose,
Jaquasia
