Led by Jade Kearney, Founder, WeMatter is an online/offline community where tech and wellness meet. The platform was designed to support Black women who experience mental illness by helping them to build healthy habits that can be tracked and openly celebrated. The community members serve as role models for one another as they meet their goals, attend events, participate in the online community, and access culturally competent resources and certified therapists. The company motivates women to harness their power by defining their own paths towards mental wellness.
