EMPOWERING WOMEN OF COLOR
BIWOC are worthy of empowerment, peace, and self-love
​
As Black women, Indigenous women, and Women of Color, we were born with specific agreements and expectations placed on us. Contracts we never agreed to, that do not align with who we are or what we want for ourselves. We are worthy of being heard! We reside in spaces where we encounter misogyny, homophobia, racism, disrespect for our rights to navigate our choices for our bodies. We are then expected to the "superwomen" cape or be the "strong Black Women." This is traumatic. Blossoming Hope provides you with a space to be your most authentic self, with no conditioned expectations. We see and feel you. We are here to help.
