Honour Her Society

What Honour Her Society does

Honour Her Society is a Toronto, Canada-based non-profit organization that delivers mentorship, health and wellness, and community-celebration programming for Black and racialized women across the province of Ontario. Founded by Tasia Richards, a cancer warrior who identified healthcare and mental-health access disparities through lived experience, the organization serves as a community-driven collective addressing gaps in culturally sensitive professional development, wellness resources, and recognition of Black women's achievements. Its service offering is structured around three pillars — Sisterhood (mentorship and professional networking), Health & Wellness (mental and physical wellness programming), and Celebration (annual recognition events) — with programming delivered in both virtual and in-person formats.

The organization's portfolio includes The Key (quarterly professional development workshops covering career advancement, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and leadership); Get Yo' Mind Right! (bi-monthly wellness sessions with licensed therapists, mindfulness coaching, fitness activities, and nutrition workshops); an Annual Celebration event; the Entrepen-her networking event and directory for Black women entrepreneurs; and a t-shirt merchandise line listed as 'COMING SOON'. The organization operates a WordPress-hosted website with no proprietary technology platform; it relies on Zeffy for donations, Eventbrite for event ticketing, Google Forms for networking registration, and Google Sheets for the Entrepen-her directory.

Honour Her Society is funded primarily through individual and organizational donations, supplemented by a developing merchandise revenue stream. The organization runs a community-led go-to-market motion: audience growth is driven by volunteer recruitment, donation appeals, partnership outreach, newsletter subscriptions, social media engagement (Instagram), and event participation. Pricing for programs and services is not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by founder and Executive Director Tasia Richards alongside a four-person board, and operates without disclosed institutional investors, venture funding, or corporate ownership.
