The Weight Was Never Yours: A Healing Invitation for Black Women

Elevate Recovery

For generations, Black women have been expected to carry it all.

The trauma.

The silence.

The expectations.

The roles we never chose but felt obligated to play—caretaker, fixer, strong one, the one who holds it all together. We carry ancestral pain in our bones and society’s projections on our backs. And somewhere along the way, we were made to believe that was just our burden to bear.


But what if I told you: The weight was never yours?



I created this space—and my eBook and course of the same name—as an offering. A homecoming. A place to breathe and begin again.

The Weight Was Never Yours: Releasing, Rising, Reclaiming is a self-guided healing journey rooted in my own lived experience. It’s for every Black woman who has ever felt unseen, unheard, or unworthy. Through gentle reflection, guided practices, and unapologetic truth-telling, we will unlearn the lies we’ve been fed, reconnect with our bodies, and reclaim our joy.


This isn’t about fixing yourself. You were never broken.



This is about returning to yourself—your full, sacred self—and finally putting down what was never meant to be yours in the first place.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore your healing or you’ve been on this journey for years, you are welcome here.


We rise together.

We heal together.

We reclaim together.
