The insane amount of stress African American women face isn’t just an under-the-breath complaint about being tired—it’s a full-on, in-your-face reality. It’s a relentless sense of overwhelm—disrupting our relationships, crushing our ambitions, fueling anxious habits, and leaving us wearing “I’m okay” masks while silently spiraling into depression. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

This isn’t just burnout. It’s a health crisis—and the stakes are too high to ignore.

Here’s a reality check: African American women are not only carrying the weight of the world—we’re paying for it with our health, dying younger, and facing more chronic illness than any other group of women in this country.

It’s almost laughable—but not the funny haha type. It’s more like the how did it even get this bad? kind. And let’s be real—it’s past time for a shift.

At Docked Ships, we’re not here to slap a band-aid on the problem. We’re here to  flip the script and break the cycle.

We’re creating space for African American women to redefine what productivity looks like—achieving success without being flooded by a never-ending loop of stress.Our educational, therapy, coaching, and organizational consulting programs and services focus on social health and wellness.

We’re not just a company. We’re a part of a movement. We believe African American women have the right to succeed & flourish, without the demands of being superhuman.
