ABOUT
Our Mission
We provide collaborative services that focus on strengthening teams in order to advance their talents and capacities to transform historical social trauma for which we are all the heirs.
Our Values
Collaboration: Advance social impact with an authentic, shared strategy.
Decolonize: From North American Indigenous lenses, reinvision and co-create cultural and structural practices that honor all.
Humility: Elevate knowledges that are derived from communities.
Wellness: Elevate well-being and balance in self-sustaining ways in order for teams to intervene on social forces that create dis-ease in bodies and teams.
Our Approach
Brown Girl Healing is a femme and Indigenous-led collective of facilitators and researchers, bringing Indigenous Knowledge and sciences to community-based teams.
We offer decades of experience serving in the community, collaborating with teams and communities who navigate oppressive systems.
By collaborating with your team on program assessment, consults, and/or trainings, we get to humbly amplify your team’s ability to address social oppressions in sustainable ways.
We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductable.

Project Coordinator:
Dr. Morghan Vélez Young, Ph.D., is dedicated to the transformation and healing of populations impacted by historically oppressive forces in Western settings through teaching, research, and consulting with Fresno State University and BrownGirlHealing.org.
Her work inside youth prisons, disinvested neighborhoods, and nonprofit organizations focuses on finding opportunities for change and the deliberate amplification of diverse voices, Indigenous lenses, and community-based solutions. It has been her honor to walk alongside community members who navigate poverty, racism, and generational healing in order to fulfill the vision of the ancestors. Her family is Choctaw, Cherokee, and Mexican-American and this informs her dedication to community transformation. She was born and raised on Yokuts Land.
