MEET THE FOUNDER

The Woman Behind the Invitation

Built by a woman who needed this room before she knew how to ask for it.

Hey there! I'm Allison, founder of The Black Women Collective, and I know what it's like to hold everything together while everyone around you assumes you're fine. Because you always look fine. I spent years being the strongest person in the room and the most depleted person in the room, at the same time, and nobody could tell the difference. I thought that was just what it meant to lead. Show up. Hold it down. Rest later. But later kept not coming.

REST. RESTORE. RENEW. is the room I needed before I knew how to ask for it. A space where you don't have to explain why you're tired, and you don't have to earn your rest first. This isn't a conference. It's not a mastermind. It's permission, not performance. We have to be progressively selfish. Not because we've stopped caring about everyone else, but because we finally believe we're allowed to matter too. This time, you get to come first.

GOT A QUESTION?

Frequently

Asked

Questions

Here, I answer the ones I hear most from women who are ready to finally choose themselves.

Who is this retreat for?

For the Black woman entrepreneur, executive, or leader who's used to being the one everyone leans on. If people rely on you constantly and you're quietly running on empty, this was made for you.

Do I need to know anyone else attending?

No. Every woman in that room understands what it means to carry a lot without complaint. You'll feel known here faster than you expect.

What does the weekend actually look like?

Last year included guided journaling, breathwork, aromatherapy, drumming circles, community connection, and nourishing meals together. This year carries that same spirit. We'll share the full itinerary soon.

Is this just another self-care buzzword event?

No. This is a real space to put your body and mind down for a while, with women who understand exactly why you need to. Nothing here is performative.

Can I do this while managing family and other responsibilities?

Yes. In fact, that's exactly who this is for. You're allowed to step away for three days. Everyone will still be there when you get back, and you'll come back more whole for having gone.

Last year’s Black Women Collective Retreat was truly an unforgettable experience. The perfect balance of connection, reflection, relaxation and fun. I met incredible women, shared powerful moments, enjoyed amazing food, and most importantly, had the space to reflect and gain clarity about the direction of my life. There’s something powerful about women coming together to learn, grow, laugh, cry and simply connect. I’m looking forward to doing it all again. This is one experience I wouldn’t miss!

Last year's Black Women's Collective Renew and Restore retreat truly lived up to its name. I spent time with incredible women, connecting over family, business, and life — and came home feeling genuinely restored. The experience struck a perfect balance of relaxation and connection. We had an author read her book to us, which was invigorating, and even crafted our own scented body butter — activities that felt so calming and centering. The food was another highlight, with an executive chef making every meal excellent and nourishing. This year's activities may be different, but that's all the more to look forward to. If you're a Black woman seeking a chance to rest, reconnect, and be poured back into, I can't recommend this retreat enough. I'm already hoping there's a spot for me!
