The Black Girl’s Guide to Healing Emotional Wounds, the bestselling, transformative book by acclaimed author Nijiama Smalls, has inspired a bold evolution in mental health advocacy. Building on its trusted legacy, Smalls has launched The Black Girl Healing Project, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to providing accessible emotional support to Black women and girls.

About The Black Girl Healing Project

With virtual care available 24/7, the project aims to reach Black women navigating postpartum alone, grieving in isolation, or struggling after layoffs with nowhere to turn. From worksheets to crisis response to a healing-centered chatbot named Rashida, the platform bridges the gap where traditional systems fall short.

“We’re moving Black women and girls from crisis to excellence by eliminating barriers to emotional support, healing, and long-term wellness no matter where they live,” said Smalls.

The nonprofit serves as a vital extension of The Black Girl’s Guide, transforming its message into action through:

• Immediate emotional wellness resources, including Rashida, worksheets, and videos
• Round-the-clock crisis care for communities long excluded from mental health support
• Community programming and advocacy, rooted in empowerment and systemic change
