What is Hey Auntie?

Hey Auntie! is an award-winning intergenerational platform for Black women. But we are more than a community; we are hope in human form. We bring together Black women across generations to create a powerful network of social and emotional support. Whether you’re navigating life’s biggest challenges or celebrating your milestones, our platform connects you with other women who truly understand your journey.

What makes our community unique:

  • Intergenerational Connection: Be part of a dynamic community where wisdom meets fresh perspectives.

  • Non-Clinical Emotional and Social Support: We focus on fostering meaningful relationships, offering support in a safe, understanding space.

  • Tailored Relationship-Building Opportunities: Whether you’re looking to expand your professional network, cultivate deeper friendships, or simply find a listening ear, our platform matches you with women who align with your needs and goals.

  • Holistic Personal Growth: We believe in living full, healthy lives—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Most importantly, no need to be perfect, perform, or superwoman.

  • My goals are doable!

    "Hey Auntie! helped me to feel that my goal is in fact doable that there are resources out there to make it easier and that regardless of the age, we have more in common than you would suspect".

    - Deborah

  • Hey Auntie! is a safe space to share and grow.

    "What a combination for creating a "safe space" to share and grow. Then to observe our different slants on similar life themes, revealed how much we are alike after all, through it all... THIS defined "community".

    - Renee

  • Thank you for the accountability!

    "I am so thankful for everyone in the group and for the support and accountability. I have definitely missed having aunties pursuing joy and purpose in my life. Thank you so much for creating this space."

    - Selam

  • No one walks alone!

    “One thing I am clear of is that we were not meant to walk this journey alone. I have a wonderful village, and I have added to it. At Hey Auntie!, women who were strangers to me one week became friends!”

    - Andrea
