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. HEIRS stands for Heritage, Equity, Inheritance, and Resources for Sustainability.

VISION

Our vision is for Black families to be empowered to make financially progressive decisions about legacy properties, to heal relationships strained by inheritance-related conflicts, such as mismanagement, unclear ownership, inequitable distribution, or loss of property, and to preserve the stories of undocumented Black institutions that were instrumental to the financial and social development of the United States.

let's build the house 250

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, Blondena's HEIRS is honoring the immeasurable contributions of African American families.


Our Let's BUILD the House Campaign is using this historic moment to strengthen Black property ownership, financial literacy, estate planning, and family legacy.

DONATE TODAY

There are far too many people navigating the shame and the complexities of these issues alone, and we’re hoping to bring it to life, create some solutions and help people to move forward.


Evin Marie, Blondena's HEIRS Founder

50-77% of Black families lose property due to not having a will, leading to a lack of “heirs property” and land being passed down without a clear title. Heirs property is a major contributor to the loss of Black-owned land in the United States.
