Shades of Strength is a free monthly support group created by and for mothers of color. It offers a welcoming space for honest, empowering, and uplifting conversations about the experiences of motherhood and caregiving.

Together, participants can connect, reflect, and support one another while exploring topics such as mental health, identity, culture, history, and everyday life. The group recognizes the ways our stories, communities, and resilience shape how we care for ourselves and our families.

Whether you’re looking for connection, understanding, or a space to share and be heard, Shades of Strength provides an opportunity to build community with others who share similar experiences.

The group is led by Taneisha Brooks, an Athens Parent Wellbeing board member alumna and 2024 Supporter of the Year.
