  • Mission

    Blondena’s HEIRS supports African American families through every stage of property inheritance and legacy planning. Through community conversations, mediation, storytelling, education, and advocacy, Blondena’s HEIRS empowers Black families to make financially progressive decisions about legacy properties and to heal and rebuild relationships strained by inheritance-related conflicts, such as mismanagement, unclear ownership, inequitable distribution, or loss of property.

    About Us

    The organization also works to preserve the stories of undocumented Black institutions that were instrumental to the financial and social development of the United States. HEIRS stands for Heritage, Equity, Inheritance, and Resources for Sustainability.
