Black Women Radical Self-Care Group

A Healing Space for Black Women to Rest, Resist, and Reclaim


Why This Group Exists

As Black women, we’ve been told to be strong, to hustle harder, to carry everyone else while silencing our own needs. But radical self-care is our rebellion. It’s how we heal, resist, and reclaim joy in a world that tries to strip it away.

This group is a space where you don’t have to explain yourself. Where your truth is welcomed, your healing is affirmed, and your rest is sacred.

What You’ll Experience

Over 8 weeks, we will gather virtually to:

  • Unlearn the Lies – Release the messages that told us we are not enough.
  • Reclaim the Body – Practice grounding, rest, and boundaries that restore us.
  • Embrace Joy – Create rituals that make joy non-negotiable.
  • Build Community – Heal in a circle of Black women who see you, hear you, and uplift you.

Each session combines reflection, discussion, journaling, and practices rooted in Black culture, history, and resilience.

Why Radical Self-Care?

Because rest is not laziness.
Because joy is not optional.
Because healing is our birthright.
And when Black women heal, entire communities rise.

Why Join with Vanessa?

I’m Vanessa Williams-Brown — Certified Peer & Recovery Support Specialist, life and meditation coach, trainer, and author of The Weight Was Never Yours.

I’ve walked this journey myself — carrying trauma, burnout, and silence in my body until I learned to listen, release, and rise. Now, I help Black women reclaim self-care not as luxury, but as liberation.

This group is not just a program. It’s a movement of healing — and I’d be honored to hold space for you.

Why I Do This Work

I know this path because I’ve walked it. For years, I carried the invisible weight of trauma, exhaustion, and silence — in my body, in my spirit, and in my daily life. I know what it feels like to be strong for everyone else while your own soul aches for release. I know what it means to inherit burdens you never chose and to wonder if joy is even possible.

But I also know what it means to heal.

I am a Certified Peer & Recovery Support Specialist, a trainer, and an empowerment coach with more than 14 years of experience guiding individuals and communities through recovery, self-care, and racial healing. I am the author of The Weight Was Never Yours and the creator of courses and group coaching rooted in Black resilience, Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (Dr. Joy DeGruy), and liberation psychology.

What sets me apart is not just my training, but my lived experience as a Black woman who has faced addiction, homelessness, and systemic barriers — and has reclaimed wholeness through community, culture, and radical self-care. I don’t speak from theory alone; I speak from scars turned into lessons, from survival turned into strategy, from pain transformed into power.

My work is unapologetically culturally-rooted, community-centered, and liberation-focused. I create spaces where the Black community can:

  • Release generational trauma carried in our bodies and spirits
  • Reclaim joy, rest, and boundaries as sacred birthrights
  • Rise into wholeness, freedom, and unapologetic self-love

This isn’t just coaching. It’s not just teaching. It’s a movement of healing and reclamation — and I am honored to walk beside you as we release what was never ours and rise into what always was.
