Anxiety Group for Black Women 

Because carrying it alone was never the plan.

anxious.black.female was created for Black women who are tired of carrying anxiety in silence and ready to do something about it.

In this group, you’ll understand your personal relationship with anxiety, learn to “do it scared”, and gain the skills to stop thoughts from getting in the way. Specifically designed to help Black women cope with everyday stressors unique to the Black female experience.

Returning June 16, 2026

For Black women, anxiety is a solo sport no one signed you up for.

Uncertainty gets labeled weakness. Struggle gets met with shame. So you go quiet and hope it passes.

Here’s what nobody tells you: anxiety is one of the most common human experiences and when you understand it, it stops being the enemy. It becomes information.

You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

Join a community of women who get it — and finally get the tools to match.

You’re Anxious. Your mind is pulled in three directions at once, and getting it wrong isn’t an option. Everyone around you sees someone who has it together. But you can’t experience what they see, you’re too busy worrying.

You’re Black. In your community, talking about your struggles is either not an option or met with judgment. You don’t want to be seen as weak, crazy, or less than. So you stay silent.

You’re Female. Women carry more. That’s just the reality. And the one time you work up the courage to reach out, your feelings get dismissed. You’re told to push through or pray about it.

Join other Black women learning to quiet overthinking, ease everyday stress, and stop carrying anxiety in silence.

Realize you’re doing enough…probably MORE than enough…
and Have the Audacity to be YOU

This is NOT for you if:

 You’re not ready to take an honest look at how anxiety is showing up in your life.

You want to vent without working toward something different.

You’re looking for a quick fix or a one-size-fits-all solution.

This IS for you if:

Z

You’re tired of anxiety running the show and you’re ready to respond differently.

Z

You want tools that actually work for your specific experience as a Black woman.

Z

You’re ready to be in a room where you don’t have to explain yourself.

A Message From Our Founder

anxious.Black.female was created because too many Black women are carrying anxiety in silence and calling it “just life.”

I kept seeing the same pattern: capable, ambitious, dependable women who were exhausted from overthinking, people pleasing, perfectionism, and trying not to disappoint everyone. Women who could show up for work, family, and everybody else’s crisis, but struggled to make room for themselves without guilt.

And honestly, I understood it.

For Black women, anxiety can come with extra layers: the pressure to be strong, the fear of being misunderstood, and the habit of shrinking your feelings so no one labels you “too much,” “angry,” or “difficult.”

anxious.Black.female exists to help Black women name their anxiety, reduce overwhelm, and build coping tools that fit the realities of their lives.

You deserve more than survival mode in a cute outfit.
