Melanin & Mimosas is a sanctuary designed for Black women, by Black women. Understanding the unique burdens and societal pressures we face, we offer a space for healing and authentic connection. Our roots trace back to 2018, when a small gathering of 13 women found solace in shared experiences and mimosas, laying the foundation for a thriving village.
Join us and experience the power of collective healing as we create a safe and supportive environment for Black women to thrive.
Black women experience unique challenges and burdens
1 in 2 Black women report experiencing racial microaggressions in the workplace, creating a need for safe spaces to process these experiences.
Racial Microaggressions
Black women are 20% more likely to experience serious mental health problems like major depression or generalized anxiety disorder compared to white women.
Increased Mental Health Problems
Barriers to Mental Healthcare
Black women make up less than 5% of psychologists and psychiatrists, which can create barriers to finding culturally relevant and accessible mental healthcare.
Black Women Need a Space for Healing and Authentic Connection.
Intergenerational Trauma
Black women may carry the burden of intergenerational trauma. Community-based healing practices and safe spaces for dialogue can provide a path toward addressing and overcoming this trauma.
Since 2018, Melanin & Mimosas has blossomed into a thriving sanctuary for over 100 Black women, fostering deep connections, healing, and empowerment. Through 20+ annual events – from invigorating sip & paints and grounding yoga in the park to our cherished Kwanzaa celebration – we've cultivated a vibrant sisterhood of brilliant women who uplift and support one another.
We also extend our embrace to the Black community through the "Can We Go To War" series, fostering dialogue and connection through speed dating, game nights, and other engaging events.
Join us as we continue to nurture a space where Black women thrive, heal, and create lasting bonds
