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 ages and life stages 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 by offering support in a culturally sensitive, and 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— physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

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