Taboo Truths
Support Group for Black Women
Returning January 2025
The Silent Struggle
YOU OVERDO IT: Always being everything to everyone…even when you don’t want to. If you don’t do it, it won’t get done.
YOU DON’T SLEEP: Regularly staying up late to finish tasks.
YOU HOLD YOUR TRUE SELF IN: You don’t want to be a burden, perceived as weak, or judged.
YOU CARRY NETWORK STRESS: You take on the worries and problems of those around you because you can handle it better than they can.
This pattern IS promoting anxiety and in your life.
It’s time to release the overwhelm and exhustion of being strong
What is Taboo Truths
Taboo Truths is an exclusive space for Black Women ages 25 to 45 to learn that they don’t have to do it all to have it all. We meet in a judgment free zone for strong women who don’t always want to be strong AND don’t need to feel guilty about it. A sanctuary for sharing and understanding with the only people who could possibly get it, other Strong Black Women.
You Don’t Have to Be Everything to Everyone
You Will Be Empowered To
Do What is Necessary: Separate your wants from the expectations of others so that you can relax and release the need to control things.
Get Your Rest: Be more compassionate with yourself so that you can beat yourself up for not meeting goals in a “timely” manner.
Speak For Yourself (Fully): Obtain a better understanding of yourself so that you no longer feel lost and overwhelmed.
Hold Others Accountable: Learn to be compassionate without being responsible so that you can support your family and friends without obligation to solve their problems.
Realize you’re doing enough…probably MORE than enough…
and Have the Audacity to be YOU

Is Taboo Truths For Me?
This is NOT for you if:
You’re looking for a space to simply vent without a focus on transformation.
You’re unwilling to explore uncomfortable topics with honesty and vulnerability.
You already have all the answers and aren’t open to learning from others’ experiences.
You’re not ready to let go of the “strong Black woman” narrative that pressures you to do it all without asking for support.
This IS for you if:
You want to explore sensitive topics in a supportive, judgment-free space.
You’re ready to stop viewing vulnerability as weakness and embrace it as a strength.
You crave a like-minded community who understand and validate your experiences.
You’re ready to prioritize yourself, shed guilt, and discover what it truly means to have it all—on your terms.

A Message From Our Founder
I founded Taboo Truths in 2018 after noticing a common struggle among the Black women I worked with: prioritizing others over themselves, acting out of obligation, and self-censoring to avoid judgment or rejection. As a professional Black woman, I deeply relate to the pressure of masking our true selves—appearing graceful while battling stress, anxiety, and depression beneath the surface.
That said, empowering women to remove the mask of other people’s expectations and have the AUDACITY to be themselves has become my mission. Encouraging you to connect with your identity and ignore the noise of other’s opinions and expectations is my purpose. Let go of the weight of others’ expectations and embrace your true identities unapologetically.
Welcome to the discussion.
