Higher Heights is excited to announce the launch of our #BlackWomenLead 2025 Summer Training Series, kicking off on Wednesday, July 16, through September 24. This weekly virtual leadership development series will feature timely and engaging conversations led by Higher Heights staff, issue experts, and thought leaders on a wide range of topics critical to building power and deepening impact in our communities.

Join us every Sunday at 2 PM ET for brunch! Each week, we’ll dive into what’s happening with Black women and their communities and serve up a fresh batch of “political meal prep” you can share with your family, friends, and community. Come for the virtual community — stay for the inspiration and insights!

Summer is the perfect time to relax and dive into powerful stories—and this year’s list delivers. Curated by Team Higher Heights and our network, the 2025 collection features over 60 books by Black women authors across genres like historical fiction, mystery and suspense, political and social commentary, memoirs, cultural criticism, children’s and YA, plus educational and research-driven works.

Black women have always shaped the sound of our culture—from gospel and jazz to hip-hop and soul. This Black Music History Month, we're building a community-curated playlist honoring the artists, anthems, and sounds that move us, lead us, and lift us.

On the eve of Independence Day, Higher Heights for America President & CEO Glynda C. Carr issued the following statement on why the "Big Beautiful Bill" is anything but, and what it means for our democracy, our freedoms, and our future.

Our 2024 #BlackWomenRun Database highlights Black women candidates and raises voter awareness, empowering communities to make informed decisions at the polls. The database allows voters to filter candidates by state, party affiliation, and primary outcomes, making it easy to view candidates running in the general election.
