About Us

mission

The Black Mind exists to ignite healing, reflection, and connection within Black communities by centering our experiences through intentional conversation, cultural truth-telling, and emotional vulnerability. Through tools, events, and research rooted in Black realities, we cultivate brave spaces where our stories are honored, our truths are heard, and our relationships—with self and each other—can begin to heal.

vision

We envision a world where Black people are empowered to speak freely, feel deeply, and heal openly—individually and together. A world where our emotional wellness is valued, our voices drive cultural transformation, and our communities thrive in full color.

position

The Black Mind is a community-based healing intervention. We serve as a bridge between emotional wellness and cultural connection—meeting Black people where they are with tools, questions, and shared spaces that reduce stigma, spark vulnerability, and restore relationships.

Through our D.I.G. Question Framework, live events, and data-driven research, we transform conversation into care. Our role is to shift mental health from clinical to communal—one question, one truth, one story at a time.

  • 1. Cultural Rootedness

    We honor the complexities of Black identity, history, and experience in everything we create and facilitate.

  • 2. Vulnerability as Power

    We believe truth-telling and emotional openness are not weaknesses, but acts of strength, freedom, and transformation.

  • 3. Community Over Isolation

    Healing is not just personal—it’s collective. We center connection, listening, and shared experience as the foundation of emotional wellness.

  • 4. Conversation as Catalyst

    We use dialogue as a tool for awareness, empathy, and impact—moving from insight to perspective to action.

  • 5. Evidence with Intention

    Through research and data, we uplift our truths with legitimacy. We commit to studying the emotional lives of Black men and women to reshape mental health narratives from the inside out.
