Who We Are

MISSION: To provide holistic supportive services to Black female descendants of slaves who have experienced domestic and or intimate partner violence; promoting pathways of healing through self-reliance and healthy legacy.

We're a direct branch of the Courageous Fire, LLC mission to change the narrative for Black women and DV. CFire LLC will now be dedicated solely to our founder's work in the community for the mission...

Courageous Access will utilize Black professionals to provide culturally-responsive services directly to YOU as the survivor and your family.

We're the new home of Empowerment through the Arts™.

We are - for the Black woman DV survivor and her family - #Permission

Our Philosophy

Foundation Matters. Our adult decisions are based on what we learn as we build our developmental foundation in childhood. If a Black woman can identify where poisonous relationship expectations were falsely set up as normal and healthy, she and her therapist can disarm those predispositions, recognizing and rejecting future toxic advances in all relationships - intimate partner, family, work, church, and friendships.

Reparations Matter. As a Black woman, you may have daydreamed about your country suddenly deciding to repay you in useable currency for my lifelong suffering at its hands. We teach survivors how to extract currency following an abusive situation; because the most effective revenge is to make abuse pay you back - reparations, Beautiful.
