WE ARE MORE THAN A SUPPORT GROUP, WE ARE A POWERFUL SISTERHOOD.
Yo Soy Ella aims to empower survivors of domestic violence and individuals struggling with mental and emotional health challenges by offering comprehensive support services, fostering a sense of community, and advocating for systemic change to improve their lives and well-being.
We advance this agenda by curating a community of women who collectively desire to strengthen and positively transform their lives through the implementation of various healing resources.
Yo Soy Ella exists to increase the mental and emotional wellbeing of women of color. We do this by providing a supportive community in the midst of mental health, domestic violence, and migration-related challenges. We believe that all women deserve safety.
OUR MISSION
OUR VISION
To be widely recognized as an organization that provides growth, community, and enrichment for women to support their mental and emotional needs.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
We strive to be a safe, compassionate, and restorative community.
-
Safe - We believe that safety is the foundation of trust and we work to be an organization that sets every woman that we serve at ease.
-
Compassionate - We seek to cultivate spaces of embodied warmth and grace in the midst of a hostile world, doing life with and not simply working for the women we serve.
-
Restorative - We pursue holistic wellbeing of participants and view healing as one aspect in the larger pursuit of restorative justice.
-
Community - We are a body of women, bound not by physical spaces but by the presence we have within the population of women of color that we serve.
We ensure that cultural competency, connection, and safety reflects through our collective work.
