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

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 help change that narrative and expand pathways to success.

Founded on the belief that representation and access are essential, our organization is dedicated to supporting women of color as they navigate their educational and professional ambitions. What started as a mission to uplift and inspire has evolved into a community-centered initiative supporting first-generation students, aspiring legal professionals, and women pursuing higher education and leadership opportunities.

Through mentorship programs, leadership development, community outreach, and pre-law support, Empower Her Rise creates sustainable 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 professionals united in advancing a future where women from underserved and underrepresented communities have access to the opportunity, support, and representation they deserve.
