HIGHER  EDGE Resources and Support, affectionately known as HERS, is a membership community designed to offer a  supplemental layer of care and sisterhood for Black women scholars. 

Although Black women have made incredible gains at all levels  of educational participation and currently persist at a rate higher than  other demographics, we face more internal stressors and personal  impediments which can cause barriers such as impostorism, (along with the  intersection of racial and gender biases), to worsen. This community  aims to provide services and support that contribute to the alleviation of such struggles.

Towards the end of the episode, the 4 membership levels are described: (A'SISTt Her Network | Pumps & Circumstance | Schol[HER]ship | PerSIStence) and even a few areas of support that are currently offered out of a list of 50. Here are a few more:

Educational pathway planning session

Literature review session

Personal brand audit

Presentation development

Signature talk conception
