Meet the Founder.

Lakeisha Allen is a writer, facilitator, and dedicated advocate for holistic healing. With a background in psychology and education, she approaches her work through a people-centered lens, prioritizing connection, care, and personal growth.

Her work is grounded in the creation of intentional spaces that encourage self-understanding, acceptance, and deeper self-love—values she believes are essential for individual and collective well-being. Through years of experience, Lakeisha has witnessed the transformative power of authentically loving spaces, particularly within the Black community.

This commitment continues to guide her work, with theGRPCHT standing as one of her most meaningful expressions of that vision.

the Mission: ‍Here at theGRPCHT, we are fostering individual and collective healing through safe and open dialogue that lovingly challenges us to be present in our growth. We believe that through our monthly group sessions and curated events, rooted in intentionality, we can lead our communities to a more unified and healthy future.

the Vision: Our vision is to create a world where we are all equipped and empowered to take control over our healing and subsequently, our lives.

the Values: We value dialogue, honesty, safety, community, collaboration, empowerment and accessibility.
