Empower Her Rise, Inc. is a nonprofit organization based in Metro Detroit, Michigan, 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, Empower Her Rise was created to change that narrative.

Founded on the belief that representation and access matter, our organization is dedicated to assist women of color to navigate their ambitions. What started as a mission to uplift 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 pre-law 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.
