For too long, Black women have carried the weight of the world while putting themselves last.

We’re mothers, daughters, sisters, leaders, entrepreneurs, mentors, community leaders, advocates, and everything in between. We’re the ones holding it down at home, in the workplace, and for the culture.

We’ve been told to push through, to grind harder, to be strong—that our strength is our greatest asset, but never our greatest burden. That we should be grateful for the seats we’ve earned, even when those seats come with exhaustion, invisibility, and the quiet, suffocating weight of never being allowed to fall apart.

Due to racism and systemic oppression, we often feel that we have little choice even when it costs us everything.

I know, because I lived it. And I decided enough was enough.

I reached a breaking point and had to sit with myself and pause, so that I could BE.

Have you ever thought about the version of yourself that just gets to be?

What about the version of you who is tired of always being “the strong one”? What about the part of you that longs to exhale, to be held, to be poured into instead of endlessly pouring out? What about the version of you that is more than a title, more than a role, more than what you can do for others?

What happens when the weight of overperformance, over-functioning, and over-giving becomes too much? When burnout doesn’t just steal your energy—it steals your joy, your peace, your sense of self?

Mind Your Higher Ground was born from my own burnout healing journey—a place where Black women can finally exhale, rest, and rise into the highest version of themselves. 

We center Black women. Period.

We understand that the burnout Black women experience is not the same. Our exhaustion is layered—deeply woven with systemic barriers, cultural expectations, and the unspoken pressure to always show up, hold it together, and prove our worth. Unlike mainstream wellness spaces, we don’t erase that reality. We address it head-on.

This space was built for us, by us. Every practice, every framework, every tool is designed with our lived experiences in mind. Because healing looks different when the world is constantly asking you to shrink, when your success is questioned at every turn, when rest feels like a privilege instead of a right.

Mind Your Higher Ground was created for you, Sis. This is your soft place to land, while you pause, heal, and RISE.

Higher Ground is the sacred God given space where our highest self resides, where mind, body, soul, and spirit connect. To mind your Higher Ground means tending to all these aspects, allowing one to thrive personally and professionally. Like tilling a garden, one must nurture every part of themselves to reach their fullest potential.

The name “Mind Your Higher Ground” is inspired by singer Shameka Dwight’s song “Higher Ground,” which celebrates Black women across the United States and around the world, affirming that they deserve everything they desire. The song also serves as a tribute to the life of Breonna Taylor, adding a deeper layer of significance to our mission.
