For the sister who is the only one in the room.
BLKGRL@PWI
REAL TALK. REAL SUPPORT. REAL TOOLS.
You've felt it. Walking into a lecture hall, a sorority rush event, a study group, and realizing you're the only Black girl there again. The way you brace before someone says something ignorant about your hair. The way you second-guess whether you're actually smart enough to be here, or just lucky. The quiet ache of feeling unseen in the dating scene on a campus that wasn't built with you in mind.
You don't have to carry that alone anymore.
Black Girl@PWI is an 8-week group for Black women navigating predominantly white colleges and universities — a space to exhale, be understood without translation, and walk away with real tools for the moments that wear you down.
What This Group Is
Black Girl@PWI is a closed, 8-week group led by Dr. Bianca Busch — a small, intentional cohort (max 15), not an open drop-in group, so real trust and real growth can happen. This isn't a lecture. It's a room built for you: part sisterhood, part skill-building, all support.
Due to licensure, this group is open to students currently enrolled at a school in: CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IL, MA, MD, NJ, NY, OH, OK, PA, TN, or TX.
What You'll Work On
Community + Support + Tools = Thriving
Belonging
Making sense of what it feels like to be "the only one," and reclaiming your space instead of shrinking in it.
Microaggressions
Real language and real responses for the comments and moments that catch you off guard.
Hair & Beauty
Unpacking beauty standards that were never built with you in mind, and reconnecting with how you see yourself.
Dating & Desirability
Working through what it feels like to feel overlooked, and rebuilding your sense of worth from the inside out.
Imposter Syndrome
Real tools for the moments you feel like you don't belong, even when you've earned every bit of your seat.
Why Dr. Bianca Busch
Dr. Bianca Busch is a double board-certified psychiatrist, teaching faculty at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Texas A&M College of Medicine, and a Harvard-Macy Institute Education Fellow. She serves on the National Network of Depression Centers' College Mental Health Taskforce and is a member of the Association for College Psychiatry — work centered on the mental health of college students navigating high-pressure academic environments.
But this group isn't just her expertise — it's personal. Dr. Busch is herself a product of predominantly white institutions, and knows firsthand what it's like to search for belonging in rooms that weren't built with you in mind. What carried her through was sisterhood — a group of six Black women from college she remains close with to this day. Black Girl@PWI is her way of offering that same kind of community to the next generation of Black women walking that path.
