Whether it’s accessing funding, scaling a business, or balancing entrepreneurship with personal responsibilities, these challenges are often compounded by systemic inequities and a lack of representation.
Lack of Funding: Black women founders receive less than 1% of venture capital funding. For many, this lack of financial support makes it difficult to scale a business or even get started.
Isolation: Many Black women in business report feeling isolated, with limited access to networks of support, mentorship, and resources that are often more readily available to other groups.
Systemic Barriers: From racial bias to gender discrimination, Black women face systemic challenges that make it harder to access opportunities, whether it’s in corporate environments or entrepreneurial spaces.
At The Bridge, we don’t shy away from these realities. Instead, we create a space where you can tackle these challenges head-on, with the support of a community that understands your journey. You’ll gain access to business leaders, wellness practitioners, and personal development coaches who will help you bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Imagine a space where Black women in business come together—not just to network but to actually learn to thrive.
A place where your ambition is celebrated, your personal well-being is prioritized, and you’re equipped with the tools and resources you need to succeed, holistically. Welcome to The Bridge—a transformative retreat that serves as a vital connection between where you are now and where you’re destined to go.
This retreat was created to bridge the gap between your ambitions and the support you need to achieve them. We know you’re not just running a business; you’re carrying the weight of expectations, breaking generational cycles, and pushing past systemic barriers. This retreat is a sanctuary where you can pause, reflect, and leave with the energy and knowledge to push forward stronger than ever before.
This retreat is a chance for you to pause, reflect, and recharge—so you can return to your business with the energy and clarity you need to succeed. It’s a space where you can be vulnerable, honest, and supported.
You want to learn actionable strategies to grow and scale your business.
You feel burned out and need time to recharge and realign your purpose.
You’re ready to take your business to the next level but need guidance and support to make it happen.
You crave a space where your personal wellness is just as important as your professional success.
You’re a Black woman who owns a business or is in the early stages of launching one.
You’ve faced challenges in accessing funding, mentorship, or business resources.
You feel isolated in your entrepreneurial journey and crave a community of like-minded women.
You’re looking for a space where your personal wellness is valued as much as your professional success.
You’re juggling multiple responsibilities—family, community, business—and struggling to find balance.
You believe that community and collaboration can amplify your business journey.
The Bridge isn’t your average business retreat. This experience is designed to address the whole woman. Over the course of three transformative days, you’ll engage in workshops, wellness sessions, and reflective activities that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and empowered.
The journey begins with a focus on connection and community. You’ll meet other Black women in business who are walking a similar path. Through icebreakers and collaborative sessions, we’ll begin to build the foundation of trust, support, and sisterhood that will carry you through the retreat—and beyond.
We’ll focus on holistic wellness, with sessions dedicated to mindfulness, self-care, and healing. From yoga and meditation to guided journaling, you’ll have the space to restore your energy and connect with your inner self. We know that sustainable success starts from within, and we’re here to help you realign and recharge.
Throughout the retreat, we turn our attention to the resources and strategies that will take your business to the next level. You’ll attend workshops on navigating the unique challenges you face as a Black woman in business. By the end of the retreat, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for your next steps—and the confidence to execute it.
We know the challenges faced by Black women in business aren’t just about scaling a company or growing a brand. The challenges are multifaceted and often deeply personal. You’re not only managing a business—you’re navigating societal barriers, limited access to resources, and a lack of representation in many industries. Yet, through all of this, you persist. But persistence alone isn’t enough. You need a community. You need restoration. You need a space that allows you to thrive in both business and life.
The Bridge Retreat was founded by two business-savvy Black women who understood the struggles of running a business without adequate support. After years of navigating limited access to resources, they realized the need for an event that went beyond motivation, offering real, actionable strategies for Black women in business. This idea sparked the creation of The Bridge, a retreat designed to bridge the gaps between ambition and the tangible resources necessary to thrive.
Driven by a passion to provide what they wished they had themselves, The Bridge is a sanctuary for Black women entrepreneurs, offering not only business strategies but also holistic wellness and personal growth. As the vision continues to grow, so does the impact—ensuring that Black women in business are not just surviving, but thriving, together.
We believe in giving you more than just an inspiring experience—we want you to leave with tangible tools, strategies, and connections that will continue to support you long after the retreat is over.
