Healing Not hurting

THE MOVEMENT

Healing Not Hurting isn’t just a brand. It’s a movement.

Born from lived experience and built with purpose, Healing Not Hurting exists to break cycles, build legacy, and make healing accessible—especially in communities where pain has been passed down for far too long.

Founded by Ebony Hardy in 2019, this movement now serves as a multi-dimensional platform for holistic healing. It centers the African American experience and is deeply rooted in truth, restoration, and generational transformation.

What makes this movement unique is its three healing pathways—each one designed to meet people where they are and walk with them toward wholeness:

1. The Message: 

Apparel & Products

This isn’t just merch—it’s a mirror. Our message-driven apparel, journals, and workbooks are designed to help people wear their healing out loud and do the inner work that changes everything. Whether it’s a 31-day journal or a sweatshirt that says “Bloodline Changer,” every product is a declaration: I’m not who hurt me. I’m who I’m becoming.

2. The Mission: 

Healing Not Hurting Detroit (Nonprofit)

Our nonprofit arm offers free, community-based mental wellness support—including healing-centered events, youth programs, and wraparound resources in the Detroit area. We serve families, students, and underserved individuals with empathy and action, helping them access what they need to heal and thrive.

3. The Movement Builders: 

Destined to Reign SEL Curriculum

This 20-week, CASEL-aligned social-emotional learning curriculum empowers teens to lead themselves well—emotionally, mentally, socially, and financially. Rooted in cultural relevance and emotional truth, it equips students in inner-city schools to build resilience, self-worth, and a future they can be proud of.

This is more than a business—it’s a healing experience.

This is more than a brand—it’s a blueprint for breaking cycles.

This is the movement. Join us.
