Why Brown Butter Collective?

From the moment they step into our warm, communal welcome, scholars are greeted with radical love and a curated journey that’s equal parts celebration and restoration.

The Brown Butter Collective is more than a retreat; it’s a sanctuary where Black girl scholars can take up space, feel seen, and explore what it means to thrive in every aspect of their lives—emotional, physical, cultural, and academic. The girls also participate in personal development insight circles, where they can openly discuss their individual and collective experiences in a rejuvenating setting.

“My daughter had a blast! Thank you so much for doing this for our girls.”

With hands-on workshops on as Hair and Body Image, Movement and Wellness, and Affirmation Circles. Novas take away key insights from Authors, Speakers, and Practitioners on Financial Literacy, Academic and Career Focus, College Prep, and more.

We ensure every detail centers their joy, wellness, and vibrant experiences of identity affirmation.

It’s a day of laughter, growth, and connection fueled by mentors, wellness practitioners, and influencers who are Committed to Creating transformational, soft, and joyful spaces.

Here, scholars are empowered to shape their futures with confidence, supported by resources, role models, and an unshakable sense of belonging. It’s a celebration of sisterhood, wellness, and visibility—a day where every Black girl walks away uplifted, inspired, and ready to shine.
