Bounce Black aims to inspire and equip young Black professionals to pursue a holistic legacy by healing while hustling.
When it comes to personal and professional development, we believe in psychological safety first. To that end, our mission is fourfold:
- To create a safe space for young Black people who are navigating building careers alongside recovery from adversity;
- To foster a supportive and stretching community that centers and celebrates the people and achievements overlooked by narrow views of “Black Excellence”;
- To make psychoeducation and related resources more widely accessible and culturally relevant to Black people;
- To provide a platform from which to advocate for culturally competent trauma-informed services, systems and institutions.
Through curated articles, podcasts and resources, Bounce Black aims to support Black students and professionals to break cycles of intergenerational trauma and struggle, smashing artificial and systemic ceilings along the way, and leaving holistic legacies for future generations.
