ABOUT THE FOUNDER

The founder of Black Women, Protected. has spent a lifetime navigating environments where protection was absent.

First as a child whose harm was ignored, then as a young woman expected to survive systems that offered resilience instead of safety, and later as a professional who learned the hard way that boundaries and rest were the only protection available.

Having lived unprotected across personal, institutional, and professional spaces, she created Black Women, Protected. to ensure Black girls and Black women are no longer left to navigate harm alone. This work exists to affirm that protection is not a privilege, but a right, and that it must be intentional, shared, and upheld in every room Black women enter.
