Protecting Black Women’s Work and Futures
Black women are being displaced, targeted, and locked out of stable work. Soulwork is here with rapid-response microgrants, legal referrals, and wellness support.
Why we organize
Soulwork is both a framework and a practice that calls for a new way of valuing labor, nurturing the soul, and building collective power. In this moment, when unemployment is targeting all Black people at disproportionate rates, and hundreds of thousands of Black women specifically, find themselves the target of corporate displacement, we channel that call into urgent action. Guided by the five pillars of vocation, wisdom, community, advocacy, and self-care, we build networks that protect, support, and empower, ensuring that today’s crises strengthen tomorrow’s sovereignty.
Access key hotlines, legal resources, and steps to support Black women facing immediate workforce displacement.
Each donation provides rapid-response support to Black women facing displacement and barriers to work. Funds go directly to microgrants, legal referrals, and mental health resources, ensuring immediate relief. Every contribution also strengthens the long-term networks that embody Soulwork’s five pillars—vocation, wisdom, community, advocacy, and self-care—helping us protect lives today while building pathways to dignity and sovereignty for tomorrow.

Soulwork is moving fast to meet the crisis. Right now, we’re focused on two urgent needs:

We’re offering rapid-response microgrants ($250–$1,000) for those displaced, targeted, or in urgent need of support.

We’re building an advisory circle of trusted partners in law, wellness, labor, and advocacy to guide our response.

Seed $5,000 to fund 10 microgrants in the first 30 days.
Secure 3–5 advisory partners (legal, wellness, labor) by October.

meet Bethany Nicole,
I’ve spent years studying, organizing, and archiving Black women’s labor and cultural history. I know how quickly and consistently our work can be erased or undervalued. Soulwork is my way of turning that knowledge into action.
Everything I do is guided by the five pillars of vocation, wisdom, community, advocacy, and self-care. They shape how I support people, organize resources, and sustain long-term impact.
Whether it’s documenting histories in the Soulwork Newsletter, connecting people to urgent support, or imagining new possibilities for work and care as a consultant partner with organizations, my goal is simple: to do the work my soul must have, and help as many Black women do the same as I possibly can.
