We go beyond preaching about the importance of having a will. Our educational content and resources help our community take action immediately and share the information with their loved ones.
We pay a portion of the recipient’s estate attorney fees and mentor her through the process of completing her will, healthcare directive, and power of attorney.
Black Women Will, is an initiative through the Thank Me Later Foundation, a 501(c)(3) committed to transforming Black families through legacy planning.
We are a part of the ecosystem of Thank Me Later, Inc., a financial literacy brand that provides the strategies and emotional support that professional Black women need to thrive in life.
We are on a mission to help 100,000 Black women transfer their wealth to the next generation via events, educational content, and scholarships.
That’s an estimated transfer of over $30B in assets, including real estate, bank accounts, investment accounts, and other assets!
Check out the graph to see how we’re tracking on our Phase I goal of transferring $50M worth of assets.

Black Women Will Homecoming ‘ 23
Created for FREE for professional, educated Black women in Georgia (BWW Class of 2023)
A fun, outdoor experience to celebrate leaving a legacy and transferring wealth.
Intended to teach attendees how to select enough coverage to protect their legacy and give their family peace of mind
Content series aired on social media about estate planning and what to do if you’re in charge after a loved one passes away
Our theme is HBCU Homecoming because this event is centered in community, connection, and celebration!
We change the energy of legacy planning from morbid to motivational by creating a one-of-a-kind experience for everyone – from the women getting their wills completed, to the attorneys, to our sponsors and partners.
In true Homecoming fashion, attendees are encouraged to come dressed to represent their alma mater, Greek organization, or favorite sports team.

I am 7 months pregnant and so excited to be taking care of my affairs for my daughter!”

Here are our 2022 sponsors who joined our commitment to impact Black families for generations.
Get a glimpse of how we helped
transfer over $10M+ in assets by helping 80 women complete their wills!
Black Women Will Homecoming wouldn’t be possible without our amazing partner organizations!
We know we can’t help everyone complete their will at our signature event, Black Women Will Homecoming.
Through the Black Women Will Legacy Scholarship, we will pay a portion of the recipient’s estate planning attorney fees and support her through the process.
Over the next 25 years, an estimated $68 trillion will be transferred from U.S. households to heirs and charity. Black Americans are missing out on the largest wealth transfer in history by not having an estate plan.
Black Women Will transforms the lives of Black families for generations through legacy planning.
