We are the
HER Collective.
Black women dedicated to fostering Honest + Empowered Relationships.
The HER Collective is a membership-based collective of professional Black women in Richmond, Virginia. We are committed to fostering meaningful relationships between women and within our community.
In a world where women are often pushed to compete, HER focuses on creating nurturing relationships built on honesty and respect.
Established in 2018
The HER Collective was established to create space for Black women to connect with like-minded women. Our commitment revolves around fostering mutual support through positive engagement, community service, and personal/professional advancement.
In addition to member-based commitments, our goal is to create more space and opportunities for our community through events, programs, and social media engagement.

PAST EVENT HIGHLIGHT
More than 100 women joined us on November 18 at the Robinson Theater Community Arts Center for a delightful brunch to honor five incredible women for their achievements, resilience, and strength.
Our 2023 theme, "Take Off Your Cape," served as an invitation to let go of societal expectations and embrace the power within us all. It was our goal to challenge the notion that heroism is limited to extraordinary acts and perfect portrayals. We celebrated the everyday heroines who make a difference in their communities, families, and personal journeys.
