Community

For The Future

Building a supportive network where experiences are shared, challenges are voiced, and victories are celebrated together.

Connection

New Age Networking

Creating meaningful interactions that lead to lasting relationships, empowering our members to expand their professional circles and personal growth.

Collaboration

As One We Will Grow

Encouraging partnerships within the community to share resources, wisdom, and opportunities, ensuring every member has the tools to succeed.

What We Do

We hold space for YOU - the most authentic you. It’s about building a support system where advice, experiences, and strategies are exchanged openly. We focus on professional development that’s intertwined with spiritual nourishment and balance, ensuring that every session not only teaches but also touches.

​

Women are slept on in so many spaces, especially black women.... but not at the HR Kickback! I also hope you remember that the person you're supposed to be, won't require you to be someone different than your authentic self.

Our Mission

To carve out a transformative space for women in human resources—a place where wisdom flows freely, education breeds opportunity, and authentic experiences lead to career growth. At HR Kickback, we understand that despite the strides made in workplace diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB), there remain gaps that traditional corporate structures can't always bridge.

 

Reece and Jayla have experienced these challenges firsthand and have transformed their insights into action—creating a sanctuary that empowers, educates, and embraces the unique talents of every member.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving community of HR professionals who are advancing their careers, and shaping the future of the workplace. HR Kickback is committed to cultivating spaces where diverse voices are celebrated, systemic barriers are dismantled, and women of color are equipped to lead with confidence, connection, and authenticity. Together, we’re transforming HR into a dynamic field where every leader feels valued and inspired to shine.
