Bridging the Gap (TCW & HHL) 

How does the mission of The Healing Hearts Legacy Foundation intertwine with The Crown Within, Inc.?  Our vision is very intentional; to equip Brown and Black girls with the tools needed to harness their highest potential (which is already within themselves.) We know that there are core tenants that must be positively aligned to prepare our girls for challenges that may lie ahead: Mental Health (coping skills), Physical Health (understanding their bodies), Leadership Development, and so forth. However, we understand that unprecedented life changes may change the trajectory of their success if they aren’t met with a certain level of community, education, and healing resources. It is within these circumstances that we turn to foundations such as The Healing Hearts Legacy who provide the necessary tools for our girls AND their families to discover hope through times of grief and uncertainty.
