Bounce Black is dedicated to revolutionizing the landscape of mental health, racial equity, and social mobility.
We are committed to filling crucial gaps in support systems and fostering holistic flourishing for Black students and professionals who are navigating recovery from adversity.
Our mission is fivefold:
- Create a Safe Space: Bounce Black strives to be a safe haven for Black individuals building careers while navigating the complexities of recovery. We provide a supportive environment that acknowledges the unique challenges they face and empowers them to overcome adversities.
- Build a Supportive Community: We are devoted to building a community that goes beyond narrow views of “Black Excellence.” Bounce Black centers and celebrates individuals and achievements often overlooked, creating a space that embraces the diversity of experiences within the Black community.
- Accessible Psychoeducation and Employment Law: Bounce Black is committed to making psychoeducation and employment law not only accessible but culturally relevant to Black individuals. We aim to empower our community with knowledge that is both informative and resonant with their unique experiences.
- Advocate for Culturally Competent and Trauma-Informed Services: We actively advocate for cultural competence and trauma-informed approaches within services, systems, and institutions. We believe in fostering environments that understand and cater to the specific needs of the Black community, ensuring a compassionate and effective support system.
- Support Organizations Committed to Cultivating Thriving Environments: We extend our support to organizations willing to invest in the cultivation of environments where Black professionals can thrive. We collaborate with forward-thinking entities to bring about meaningful change in academic and workplace cultures, promoting diversity, inclusion, and overall wellbeing.
Through events, content, and campaigns, Bounce Black aims to inspire and equip Black students and professionals to build a holistic legacy for future generations by healing while hustling.
Bounce Black is not merely a platform; it is a movement that champions positive change, dismantles stereotypes, and actively works towards creating a future where all individuals can bounce back, flourish, and contribute to a society that values and uplifts Black voices.
Join us in reshaping narratives and advocating for a world where resilience, justice and wellbeing are at the forefront of societal priorities.
