“Healing Together, Thriving Together.”
Melanin Girls Heal was born from a simple but powerful idea: to create safe, inclusive spaces for women of color to embark on their healing journeys. Founded by T’Keyah Bennett, a Doula, Reiki Master, and Mindfulness Expert, our organization focuses on helping women break free from stress, connect with their inner power, and build lasting sisterhoods.
Who we are
At Melanin Girls Heal, we are committed to creating safe, inclusive spaces where women of color can embark on their journeys to healing and empowerment. Through transformative retreats, community support, and holistic wellness practices, we foster connection, growth, and self-discovery, empowering women to thrive in mind, body, and spirit.
Why we exist
At Melanin Girls Heal, we recognize the unique challenges that women of color face in a world that often overlooks their emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Our mission is rooted in the belief that healing is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Too often, women of color carry the weight of their families, careers, and communities without a space to rest, reflect, and heal. This imbalance can lead to burnout, stress, and a loss of connection to self. That’s why we’ve created spaces where women can pause, prioritize themselves, and experience the transformative power of healing and sisterhood.
We exist to:
Provide Safe Spaces: Healing spaces where women of color feel seen, heard, and valued.
Foster Connection: Build communities rooted in sisterhood, support, and shared experiences.
Empower Healing: Offer culturally affirming wellness practices that nourish the mind, body, and spirit.
Celebrate Identity: Embrace the strength and resilience of women of color while encouraging rest and renewal.
At Melanin Girls Heal, we believe healing is revolutionary—and that together, we can thrive.

“I founded Melanin Girls Heal to give women of color a space where they could unapologetically prioritize their healing and well-being. As a Doula, Reiki Master, Prenatal Yoga Instructor, and Mindfulness Expert, I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformative intentional rest and sisterhood can be. I’ve spent years supporting women in their health and wellness journeys. Melanin Girls Heal was created because I believe every woman of color deserves a space where she feels seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to provide that same experience to every woman who joins our community. Our retreats are my way of creating that space for you.We’re more than an organization, we’re a community of women committed to healing and thriving together. Whether you attend a retreat or shop our empowering merchandise, you’re a vital part of the MGH family. If this is your first connection with Melanin Girls Heal, welcome. We’re happy you chose us to start or continue your journey of healing.”
