About
Krystal White
FOUNDER
At the heart of A Woman Is lies the story of our founder, Krystal. Her journey is one of resilience, survival, and a deep desire to help young girls and women who have experienced trauma, just like she has. Her story is a testament to the power of healing and the strength that can come from pain.
For years even till today, Krystal has lived in a world marked by fear, isolation, and emotional scars. At the same time, she also battled depression and anxiety, feeling trapped in a cycle of mental health struggles that seemed insurmountable. Despite the darkness surrounding her, she knew deep within that there was more to life—there had to be a way out of the pain.
The turning point came one day, while she was sitting in church, reflecting on her own struggles. A tragedy occurred that would be the driving force behind A Woman Is. A young Black woman who was a member of the church, no older than herself, had tragically passed away from depression. The weight of the moment struck Krystal —she realized that this woman’s pain was not just her own; it was the pain of so many young women who suffer in silence, too often without the resources, support, or spaces to heal.
That moment became the spark that ignited a vision for change. Krystal knew she could no longer remain passive in the face of such loss. Inspired by her own journey and the experiences of so many others, she made the decision to turn her pain into purpose.
In 2020, A Woman Is was born—a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing trauma-informed support to young girls and women who struggle with depression, anxiety, and the aftermath of domestic violence. Through therapy, mentorship, community programs, and educational resources, the organization’s mission is clear: to provide a safe space for healing, empowerment, and self-discovery.
Our founder’s vision is simple yet powerful: to ensure that no woman or girl feels alone in her battle with mental health and trauma. We are here to break the cycle of suffering and build a community of strength, resilience, and hope.
The work we do is deeply personal for Krystal. Every day, she wakes up motivated by the belief that healing is possible, that trauma does not define you, and that every woman has the power to rise above her circumstances. Through A Woman Is, she hopes to offer others the same lifeline that helped her find hope in her darkest moments.
This is our story. And this is just the beginning.
"Healing is not a destination, but a journey, and every step you take brings you closer to the strength and joy you deserve."
Our Mission
A Woman Is is dedicated to helping young girls and women break free from trauma, rediscover their self-worth, and build the confidence and strength they need to thrive.
Our Vision
At A Woman Is, we envision a future where every woman and girl - especially those who have faced the pain of domestic violence, struggled with depression, or battled low self-esteem - is empowered to heal, reclaim her voice, and live with unshakable confidence. We believe that through support, education, and connection, healing is not only possible, but essential for every woman's journey toward self-love and fulfillment.
We strive to build a world where the scars of abuse and the weight of self-doubt no longer define women and girls. Instead, we see a community where each woman knows she is worth, powerful, and deserving of a life filled with love, peace, and purpose.
Our vision is to provide spaces where healing begins, self-love flourishes, and the shame of the past trauma is replaced with the strength to thrive. We are committed to dismantling the stigma around mental health and providing women with the tools to transform their lives, rise above adversity, and redefine their worth.
We believe that every woman and girls has the right to live unapologetically, free from the chains of trauma, and empowered to create a future of limitless possibility. Together, we are building a movement that fosters resilience, self-love, and strengthen a future where women and girls rise to their fullest potential, unapologetically and boldly.
