About SuperWoman Is Black, Inc.
SuperWoman Is Black, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to mental health support, with its offices located at 612 South Flower Street. The organization was formed during the pandemic after its founders identified a pressing need for accessible, community-based mental health resources, recognizing that mental health challenges intersect with education, homelessness, and poverty in ways that disproportionately affect underserved communities. The organization's name explicitly centers Black women, reflecting its focus on serving a population that has historically faced barriers to affordable, culturally responsive mental health care. SuperWoman Is Black operates entirely on a donation-funded model, allowing it to offer every service completely free of charge to participants. Its core offerings include free peer support sessions, access to counseling and therapy resources, and a program called Soulful Saturdays, which provides ongoing community-based support. The organization also runs a Save A Life initiative aimed at crisis intervention for people in urgent need. Central to its mission is the goal of breaking down the stigma that keeps many people, particularly Black women who carry the weight of caretaking and community expectations, from seeking mental health support. By connecting participants directly with local resources and offering a judgment-free space for peer support, the organization works to make mental health care approachable and normalized rather than something reserved for crisis moments. As a donor-funded nonprofit, SuperWoman Is Black relies on community contributions and volunteer effort to sustain its free programming and continue expanding access to mental health support across Los Angeles.
