“Can We Talk?” is a supportive space for seasoned Black women to explore and discuss life transitions together.
We’re better together!
“Can We Talk?” is a safe place for women to bond over sharing some of their most intimate and guarded feelings.
One of the biggest advantages of a support group is in helping women realize that they are not alone and that other women have similar life experiences. This realization is often a huge relief to someone who may have spent her whole life wondering if she was alone in her thoughts or experiences.
Overcoming and healing from past wounds, present situations, and current stressors, is not as effective in isolation. We can all use reassurance that we are not alone, which is the mission of “Can We Talk?”

“The meetings have been extremely helpful but more importantly they have been confidential. In the beginning I did not know most of the ladies, however, now I feel I can comfortably share my feelings with these ladies, either collectively or individually and our talk will remain confidential.”
