Black Women Build

Mission

Black Women Build-Baltimore was founded in 2017 by Shelley Halstead who believes that for Black women to build intergenerational wealth, with the inherent security and prosperity it can generate, they must also learn the skills necessary to maintain that wealth. Home ownership and the ability to maintain that asset is one way this can be achieved.

With a passionate belief in the power of knowledge, skills, and opportunity to shape a woman’s life, Shelley founded Black Women Build – Baltimore on an intersectional framework. Our holistic program is offered to capable women who are ready for change and would not otherwise have the opportunity.
