Our Impact Goals
At Spilling the Tea, we focus on educational and empowerment activities rooted in what we call our "trauma tree"—a framework that helps us explore and address the deep-rooted challenges caused by trauma.
We are proud of the impact we’re making in the lives of the women and girls we serve. Through our work, we aim to help them overcome obstacles, build resilience, and achieve their personal and professional goals.
Our mission is to break down trauma-related barriers that hinder growth and potential. We remain deeply committed to this transformative work and to creating lasting change in our communities.

Like a tree, trauma is deeply rooted. Light is essential to tree growth. When we confront our traumas, we are shedding light on our experiences that may be hindering our growth.

A FEW highlights OF our "why"
Our Focus
To connect African American/Black women and girls with educational resources that address trauma-related barriers to wellness and financial success.
Health & Wellness
According to the National Institutes of Health, heart disease is the #1 killer of Black women, and stroke is the #3 killer. African American women develop high blood pressure earlier in life and have higher average blood pressures compared with other women.
According to a 2022 study by the National Institutes of Health, it states that “Black women living in Prince George’s (PG) County, Maryland, have high rates of overweight and obesity. Obesity significantly impacts Black women, leading to poor physical and mental health, decreased social well-being, and a financial strain on the healthcare system."
Financial Literacy
Studies show that
Black women experience financial abuse when actions or policies conflate their inherent value with their monetary net worth and disregard present and past experiences of financial oppression and harm.

Spilling the tea walks for breast cancer awareness
Why We Walk
As we focus on Breast Cancer Awareness month, STT understands the impact on our communities. The National Institute of Health’s Office of Research on Women’s Health published a brochure indicating that Cancer is the second leading cause of death for black women, who are more likely than other women to die from breast and cervical cancers. This is usually because abnormal cells or tumors are found at a later, more advanced stage.
