Our Story
Rooted in Love. Rising Together.
Women On The Grow was born from a simple but powerful truth — melanated women deserve spaces where they can exhale, be seen, and grow without apology.
How We Began
From One Woman's Vision to a Growing Community
Women On The Grow was founded by Jewel Diamond Taylor, a motivational speaker, author, and life coach who has spent decades pouring into the lives of women. After witnessing so many melanated women carrying invisible burdens — caregiving, grief, financial stress, displacement — she knew a dedicated community was needed.
What began as a heartfelt outreach has grown into a community of healing, connection, and empowerment. We show up for single mothers, caregivers, cancer survivors, and women who have had to start over — because every woman deserves to be poured into.
We believe in not only self-care but social-care. Through events, programs, and community connection, we offer outreach rooted in love, resilience, and the unshakeable belief that every woman deserves to grow.
