Bloom and Become!

A pilot mentorship space for Black girls aged 13 to 17

This is your space.

Not school. Not therapy. Not a place where you have to shrink, explain, or perform.

Bloom & Become is for you, to be seen, to speak your truth, and to grow in community with other Black girls who get it.

You’ll be joined by Black women mentors who’ve been where you are and are here to walk with you, not ahead of you. It’s about trust, learning, healing, and showing up as your full self.

Each month, you’ll join a small group of girls just like you—curious, creative, growing—to learn something new, ask big questions, and be part of a sisterhood. Every session is different, and each one is designed to help you build confidence, learn new things, and explore who you are.

Let’s Dive Into These Topics

Here’s what you can look forward to:

Join the Waitlist

Dreaming Big

You’ll meet inspiring Black women doing amazing things—from scientists and storytellers to doctors, dancers, and business owners. They’ll share how they got started, what helped them along the way, and why they believe in you too.

Planning for the Future: College, University & Beyond

Ever wonder what college or university is really like? We’ll break it down in ways that make sense. You’ll learn about different kinds of schools, how to apply, what to expect when you get there, and the many paths you can take to reach your goals. We believe in starting early—because you deserve to know what’s possible.

Let’s Talk About Money

Money might seem confusing now, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ll talk about how to save, how to spend smart, and even how to grow your money with simple investing ideas. You’ll learn how to make good choices that help you feel confident and in control.

Taking Care of You

This session is all about body care and hygiene—how to look after yourself as you grow and change. No shame, no judgement, just real talk in a safe space. You’ll get answers to questions you’ve maybe been too shy to ask.

Loving Your Hair

From curls to braids to protective styles, we’ll talk all about your hair. You’ll learn how to take care of it, try out new ideas, and hear stories from other girls and women who know that our hair is beautiful, powerful, and ours to love.

Food, Movement & Feeling Strong

Let’s move, eat well, and have fun doing it. We’ll cook together, try healthy snacks, and even go on a group hike. You’ll learn how to care for your body in ways that feel good, not stressful.

Feelings Matter

You don’t have to hold everything inside. This session is all about your emotions—friendships, confidence, stress, joy, and everything in between. You’ll have space to share, be heard, and feel supported.

Sisterhood & Belonging

At the heart of every session is community. You’ll build friendships, be part of a circle of care, and know that you’re never alone in your journey. This isn’t just a program—it’s your village.
