Representation Matters.

Empower Her Rise, Inc. is a nonprofit organization committed to empowering women of color from underserved and underrepresented communities. We close opportunity gaps in higher education, law, and leadership by providing mentorship, scholarships, and professional development.

What began as a vision to build a community of representation for future lawyers, leaders, and first generation students has grown into a movement. In response to the lack of mentorship, representation, and access to resources for women of color pursuing law, Empower Her Rise was created to change that narrative.

Founded on the belief that representation and access matter, our organization ensures that women of color never have to navigate their ambitions alone. What started as a mission to uplift aspiring leaders has evolved into a community centered initiative supporting first generation students, future legal professionals, and women pursuing higher education.

Through mentorship programs, leadership development, community outreach, and prelaw support, Empower Her Rise creates pathways for the next generation of changemakers. Our work is driven by a powerful mission to empower, connect, and elevate women of color so they can lead, serve, and transform the spaces they enter.

Empower Her Rise is a student led and woman led organization built by emerging leaders and young professionals who are united in advancing a future where women from underserved and underrepresented communities have the opportunity, support, and representation they deserve.
