As Black women across the country continue to navigate layoffs, career disruption, and major life changes, a new community is launching with a clear purpose: to ensure they are not facing these moments alone.
Transformation to Triumph, a growing coalition of leaders, organizations, and entrepreneurs, is formally launching a national community designed to support Black women experiencing significant transition, including job loss, a career pivot, burnout, and a reimagining of purpose. The initiative centers healing, opportunity, and long-term connection at a time when many women are seeking stability, validation, and direction.
Over the past year, Black women have been disproportionately impacted by workforce reductions and economic uncertainty, often while continuing to serve as anchors for their families and communities. Transformation to Triumph believes resilience should not be the only expectation placed on Black women during periods of upheaval.
“This moment calls for something different,” said Geneva Greene, founder of Transformation to Triumph. “Black women deserve spaces where they are affirmed, resourced, and supported as they evolve. This community is about helping women reconnect to who they are and what is possible to have hope for the future.”
The launch of the community will be marked by the Transformation to Triumph Black Women’s Summit, a three-day hybrid gathering scheduled for Feb. 27 through March 1, 2026, with virtual programming and in-person sessions at Howard University. While the summit is a major convening moment, it represents the beginning of a broader, ongoing effort.
Through the community, participants will gain access to a host of resources, including career coaching, mentoring, opportunity-matching services, wellness support, and referral networks. Programming is structured around four focus areas: finance, health, career and entrepreneurship, and path and purpose. Together, these pillars are intended to support the whole woman, not just her professional résumé.
For many women, the appeal lies less in attending an event and more in finding belonging and collective support during uncertain times.
“This is about solidarity,” Greene said. “It is about creating a place where Black women can be honest about what they are carrying and supported as they rebuild with intention.”
Transformation to Triumph’s intention is for the community to continue to grow beyond the summit through partnerships, coaching pathways, and shared advocacy connections, with the long-term goal of strengthening economic empowerment, well-being, and collective healing.
As Black women continue to shape families, industries, and movements, Transformation to Triumph offers a clear message: they deserve more than endurance. They deserve the opportunity to rise together. Learn more about Transformation to Triumph here or email transformationtotriumph@gmail.com.
