Advocacy is at the core of our work—we create spaces where women of color can speak openly about the challenges they face, from workplace bias and the glass ceiling to navigating real allyship. Too often, HR departments fall short, leaving them without the support or protection they deserve. We step in where systems fail, equipping women with the tools, community, and strategies to advocate for themselves and each other in spaces that weren’t built with them in mind.
We began our work in the heart of the pandemic in the mental health space with programming curated to help women of color overcome mental health trauma. Especially, as it relates to micro aggressions and unsafe environments. With the heightened racial tension we recognize that women of color need a safe haven to heal from mental trauma. Women of color are still facing an increasing level of trauma in the workplace.
The A Seat At The Table Cohort: Cohort #5 begins April 10, 2025
At A Seat At The Table, we believe that when a young girl heals, she unlocks her full potential as a leader. Our youth programming is designed to help high school and college-aged girls overcome trauma, advocate for themselves, and build strong, lasting sisterhoods.
Our approach is rooted in healing and empowerment, using tools like journaling, team-building exercises, and trauma-informed support to help girls navigate their personal journeys. We don’t just create programs; we create transformational experiences that equip young women with the confidence and resources to step fully into their future.
Because when we invest in her healing, we invest in her leadership.
Our direct area of service is Period Poverty. In this space we help women and teen girls by providing clean (chemical free) feminine hygiene products at no cost. We identify those in need by connecting with local schools and community organizations. This work helps to eliminate the financial barrier of purchasing feminine hygiene products and providing relief to those in need.
Women, we celebrate you! Our history is our legacy. We are who our ancestors dreamed about and who this world needs. From the White House to the executive seat at Walgreens, we have shattered the glass ceiling by setting a clear expectation that we are here and we belong at the table.
They say if you empower a woman, you empower a nation! Women, black women, are leading the way and I challenge all women to find their place in this movement. You can do this, I can do this, WE CAN DO THIS!
Use your voice, challenge the systems, shake the room, flip the table and build a new one! Let your beauty shine and never apologize for who you are. No more begging for seats and missing opportunities! Welcome to a new Seat At The Table! The table that we created.
