My Story...Your Story...Our Story

Sis, It’s Time to Cut the Cape!

Hey girl, hey!

Let’s be real—being a strong Black woman may be seem like a badge of honor, but that title shouldn’t come at the cost of your mental health. We’ve all been there, holding it down for everyone else, putting on that brave face, and pushing through, even when we’re running on empty. But here’s the truth: strength isn’t about how much you can carry; it’s about knowing when to set those heavy bags down and take care of YOU.

That’s where Mindful + Melanated comes in. We started Strong Black Woman Support Group and the Strong Black Woman Redefined Conference to empower Black women to lead healthy, balanced lives.

Why the Strong Black Woman Support Group?

The Strong Black Woman Support Group is more than just a space; it’s a movement to redefine what strength looks like for Black women. Founded and hosted by yours truly, Regina Renaye, this podcast and community are here to support Black women who are tired of doing the most and ready to put themselves first. Because let’s face it—being everything to everyone, all the time, isn’t sustainable. It’s time we shift the narrative and create a new definition of strength—one that includes vulnerability, self-care, and saying “no” without guilt.

How We Help You Along Your Mental Health Journey

Real Talk, Real Solutions: We dig deep into the issues that hit close to home. From navigating the pressures of being a “strong” Black woman to tackling mental health challenges like depression and anxiety, we’re having the conversations that matter. No fluff, no sugar-coating—just real talk and real solutions you can use.

Community & Sisterhood: You don’t have to go through this alone. In the Strong Black Woman Support Group, you’re surrounded by sisters who get it—women who know what it’s like to carry the world on their shoulders. We’re building a community where you can share your struggles, celebrate your wins, and find the support you need to heal and grow.

Empowerment on Your Terms: This isn’t about telling you what to do; it’s about giving you the tools to make the best decisions for YOU. Through our podcast, virtual strategy sessions, and empowerment chats, we’re helping you reclaim your power and prioritize your mental wellness. It’s time to stop just surviving and start thriving.

Why You Need to Join NOW

Sis, we don’t have time to waste. Mental health isn’t something to put on the back burner. The longer we wait to address our needs, the deeper we sink into the patterns that keep us stuck. Whether you’re battling burnout, depression, or just feeling overwhelmed by the weight of it all, the time to take action is NOW.

Meet Our Founder

I have suffered from chronic clinical depression since the age of 12. As a child, I did not know how to manage my depression – in fact I didn’t even know what depression was. As an adult, none of the Black women in my circle (openly) dealt with mental health issues. For a long time I felt alone. There was no one I could talk to who could relate to my experience with mental health issues. Because of this, I went on a quest to find a local peer support group for Black women. Nothing turned up in my search so I tried to find an online peer group. Again, my search was in vain. I couldn’t find one, I created one. Because Black women have unique issues surrounding mental health and wellness, we need a safe space specifically for us. That is why I founded Mindful + Melanated.
