About Us
About
RJRP is working to cultivate a culture of radical care, resistance,
collective healing, and resilience for Women of Color through creating platforms and opportunities for wellness, healing, sharing and education. We are guided by the following concepts:
Reclaim rest, joy, and care as essential forms of resistance for WOC navigating systems built on white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism.
Interrupt burnout and cycles of overextension by making healing, restoration, and spiritual nourishment accessible and culturally relevant.
Uplift the voices, truths, and lived experiences of WOC through platforms like A Resilient Fire (podcast) and Resilience in Action (video series), building power through storytelling, sharing lived experiences, education, and connection.
Create self-care sanctuaries where holistic practitioners—from mental health therapists to herbalists to energy workers—support women of color in reconnecting to their bodies, their spirits, and one another.
Build and partner with a network of aligned organizations to expand access to healing, grow community-based wellness infrastructures, and support truthtellers with spiritual and emotional armor.
Develop rituals, affirmations, prayers, and tools that serve as protection and sustenance for those resisting injustice—especially those standing boldly against fascism and white supremacy.
We believe in healing that is ancestral, defiant, and liberatory—because our survival, joy, and power have always been revolutionary.
Why This Is Critical
Women of color experience fear, trauma, stress, and health disparities at disproportionate and devastating rates. We are on the front lines—fighting for social justice, reproductive freedom, voting rights, and the protection of our communities. We have always resisted. Yet, we carry these burdens under the weight of systems steeped in white supremacy—systems that deny us our human rights and bodily autonomy more aggressively than they do others. Our labor is expected. Our resilience is assumed. And the cost to our mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial well-being is rarely acknowledged. The reality is this: when our care and healing are not prioritized—and when access to resources is limited or inconsistent—our well-being suffers. This is not sustainable. It calls for a radical shift: a decolonization of how we approach healing and self-care. Across our communities we draw from multiple faiths, cultural practices, and ancestral traditions. These ways of knowing ground us, guide us, and sustain us. They are our tools for empowerment, community building, and spiritual connection. At RJRP, we are led by the spirit of Sankofa—reaching back to reclaim what is sacred and bringing it forward to meet today’s challenges. Through love, resilience, and holistic care, we create resources that speak directly to the soul and spirit of WOC.
