Project Rise w/DrH Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to closing the leadership gap for women, especially women of color. We empower women to enter and thrive in leadership through project management certification, real‑world practicum, mentorship, and sponsorship.

Our Mission:

To equip women with the skills, confidence, and community to rise into leadership and stay there. Project Rise with Dr. Helen Inc. supports women returning to work, professionals feeling stuck in their careers, and those seeking career clarity. Through strategic training, mentorship, and leadership coaching, we help women take control of their professional journeys and thrive in leadership roles.

Our Vision:

A world where women—regardless of race, career breaks, or uncertainty—lead with confidence. By 2030, we aim to double the representation of Black women in leadership (from 2.8% to 5%) and broaden opportunities for all women to advance.

Meet Dr. Helen –

Leader, Changemaker, and Advocate for Women in Leadership

Dr. Helen Uzamere spent years as the only woman of color in executive rooms. Despite credentials and results, she was pushed out and dismissed because the system wasn’t designed for women like her. She founded Project Rise w/DrH to remove these systemic barriers—creating a movement that sponsors women to rise, pivot, and lead through project management and mentorship.
Let’s change the narrative. Let’s build leadership spaces where women enter, stay, and thrive.
