You've been searching all year - maybe longer - for a company, organization, event, that can actually take your strategic plans from GOALS to OUTCOMES. Our inaugural Courageous Access Black Women's Conference in 2026 is the answer.

WHAT WE'VE DONE

What started as an annual Iowa-based healing event for 50 women during Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM) is transforming into a national gathering for hundreds of Black women survivors. In October 2026, in Chicago, Illinois, we will host a full-day event led by Black women healers from across the country—a sacred space of awareness, education, empowerment, and healing. Together, we will send Black women home restored, connected, informed, aware, empowered, and more stable than when they arrived.

Courageous Access was founded by Courageous Fire, CHW, a Black woman and survivor of domestic violence. She knows firsthand why Black women and their children deserve more than survival—because she’s lived it. After escaping abuse, she poured her life into researching solutions and building safer, healthier futures—not just for herself and her children, but for Black women across the United States.

The bridges she built for her own healing have now become programs, events, and national support networks. In Iowa, Missouri, Texas, New York, Ohio, Illinois, Alabama, and Puerto Rico, our work she began has already:

Helped women achieve an 80% success rate in avoiding future predatory relationships
Created youth programs that increase awareness, prevent teen dating violence, and empower parents to protect their children
Fostered community and healing spaces that remind survivors they are never alone

Now, we are expanding our life-saving work to Black women all across the United States.

THE INNOVATION OF THIS CONFERENCE

Your Sponsorship Becomes a One-Stop Shop for Measurable Impact

• Driving Economic Equity
We are closing the wage gap in real time by hiring Black women healers—and paying their full, proposed rates without negotiation. Your sponsorship dollars directly fuel economic justice while elevating the very experts who know how to care for our communities.

• Advancing Healing, Safety & Belonging
You help create a dedicated cultural space for women of the Black diaspora to receive community-rooted healing, affirmation, and safety. This is trauma-informed, culturally grounded care—delivered at scale.

• Unleashing Youth & Family Potential
By immersing Black mothers in practices that restore stability, clarity, and self-worth, you seed generational transformation. When children see their mothers prioritize well-being, they learn to do the same—building healthier futures for entire families.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY FOR PARTNERSHIP AWAITS

Our fundraising goal is $150,000. These dollars directly support:

The costs of our inaugural conference and healing event in Chicago
Staffing and operational needs so our community-based approach to improving Black women's health and gender based violence prevention can continue without the governmental funding

Any overflow funds will allow us to respond directly to Black women in crisis, whether individually or in communities impacted by current events. Many Black women do not yet identify as survivors of domestic violence, but our commitment is to meet them with support and resources—access to information and resources saves lives.

At Courageous Access, we understand one crucial part of improving health outcomes for Black women before, during, and after domestic violence, sexual violence, or family violence, is equipping women who have nearly 50% potential to experience this to address trauma in body, mind, and spirit in ways that speak to them.

This is where you come in. With your sponsorship support, this inaugural event will be our first national this life-saving mission in 2026.

We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit—your sponsorship commitment is tax-deductible, and it directly fuels healing, safety, violence prevention, empowerment, and generational stability for Black women survivors.
