Founded in January 2012, the Phoenix Rising Collective (PRC) is a non-profit self-esteem education organization that inspires and empowers personal growth and change in the lives of Black women and girls through self-development workshops, holistic health and wellness events, and life coaching.

We envision a compassionate and loving community that supports the healing and wellness of Black women and girls, and we provide a positive model for building healthy self-esteem so that they flourish and rise to their fullest potential personally and professionally while remaining true to themselves in the process.

Why is the PRC important? Well, building and sustaining healthy self-esteem impacts women’s commitment to living a purpose-filled life. The PRC makes this a priority, as most women and girls of color haven’t had an opportunity to fully engage in and authentically focus on personal healing, growth, and change.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The phoenix (also known as the benu) is a bird from ancient Khemitian/Egyptian sacred text. The beautiful bird symbolizes renewal, transformation, and resilience. The word phoenix means to ascend, to shine, and to rise brilliantly.

There are many stories about the phoenix’s ability to live a long life; it has the power to heal itself when hurt or wounded, rising from the experience – stronger. Known as the firebird because it burns so fiercely, it reduces to ashes and a new bird emerges.

Like this courageous firebird, Black women and girls that participate in PRC workshops, coaching, and online community are Phoenixes. They are resilient and have the ability to persevere through life’s challenges, gaining strength to rise from their own experiences renewed, empowered, and transformed.
