What We Do
Auntie Got It is a Black-led hub for everyday caregivers—parents, aunties, chosen family, neighbors, organizers—turning ancestral wisdom into practical tools for today. We train, resource, and celebrate community care across North Carolina through small-group cohorts, hands-on workshops, and a free resource library.
What We Offer:
- Community Care Certification (10-seat cohorts): trauma-informed skills, de-escalation, boundaries, kinship support, crisis response.
- Roots + Leaves Herbal Sessions: gentle herbal first-aid, safety, and culturally rooted care practices.
- Specialized Skill-Ups: 2-hour workshops (burnout prevention, legal/medical advocacy, inclusive language, family dynamics, postpartum traditions).
- Community Circles / Peer Pods: monthly practice spaces for reflection and mutual aid.
- Open Resource Library: checklists, scripts, mini-zines, and videos to use and share.
Who We Serve
Black & BIPOC caregivers, chosen kin, queer and trans family, community health workers, and grassroots volunteers across urban and rural counties—plus allies committed to culturally safe care.
Why Now?
Black and BIPOC caregivers and every day community carry disproportionate care burdens and face systemic barriers to training that honors our cultures. We’re building everyday infrastructure—skills, rituals, and networks—so communities can stay well without relying on systems that have historically failed us.
