Honoring Wisdom, Empowering Souls
Empowering Black Elder Women Through Healing, Connection, and Purpose
At Souljourning for Truth Ministry (SJTM), we provide a spiritually grounded, trauma-informed space where Black women—especially those 60 and older—can gather in ritual, remembrance, and renewal. Through project-based programs rooted in the African principles of Sankofa (reclaiming what’s been lost) and Aṣẹ (power to make things happen), our ministry uplifts the lives, voices, and dreams of elder women.
