Welcome to The Hillman Collective Where Black Women Lead—and Equity Lives On

A Sanctuary for Justice-Driven Leaders and Displaced DEI Professionals

As DEI roles are dismantled and equity work comes under fire, many are left asking: What now?

The Hillman Collective is your answer. We’re a community of DEI professionals, scholars, and change-makers—rooted in the lived experiences of Black women and open to all who are committed to justice and inclusion.

We’re a refuge, a resource, and a rising force for those facing pushback, burnout, or displacement. Here, you’ll find:

  • Community to connect, heal, and build

  • Strategy to stay impactful and compliant

  • Opportunity for visibility, publishing, and paid collaboration

  • Care that values your humanity and your work

If you’ve been pushed out—or are simply seeking purpose—you belong here.

Join us. Be seen. Be supported. Keep building.

What We Offer

Professional Growth: Elevate Your Calling

Reclaim your brilliance. Redefine success on your own terms.
We offer career-aligned tools, workshops, and mentorship for those who are ready to break through ceilings and lead with purpose. Whether you’re climbing, pivoting, or building from scratch—your growth matters here.

Advocacy & Resistance: Rooted in Power

Transform the systems that were never built for us.
We organize, educate, and mobilize around racial justice, policy reform, and cultural resistance. Through storytelling, research, and collective action, we amplify marginalized voices and challenge the status quo.

Wealth is more than money—it’s memory, momentum, and liberation.
From homeownership to business ownership, we support our community in building generational wealth through practical guidance, healing financial trauma, and reclaiming what’s ours.
