Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Human Services, Personal Social Services

Mission: At The Heart of Miss Bee, Inc. (THOMB), our mission is simple yet powerful: to support women in their journey through grief. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we provide valuable grief education, resources, and a heartfelt emphasis on the benefits of journaling. Honoring a mother's memory is a profoundly personal and meaningful experience. That's why we offer financial assistance to ensure every woman can afford a dignified outfit, allowing her to pay tribute with grace, regardless of her financial situation. But our mission goes beyond just financial support. We believe in empowering women to navigate their grief with resilience and strength. That's why we focus on teaching women how to use a grief journal as a powerful tool for healing. We provide free downloadable grief journals and complimentary access to our digital grief journal app, Ms. Bee. At THOMB, we are here to walk alongside you, offering guidance, resources, and a compassionate community of support. Together, we can find solace, healing, and hope in the face of grief.

I felt so stuck in my emotions about losing two of the most important advisors, comforters and loves of my life. I loss my grandmother and then my mother...both were long suffering

I missed my grandmother's soft hands that ever so gently rubbed all the stress of the day away. I would often come home from work and she would be there with my children and dinner made and I didn't have a care in the world!! I would share my thoughts and ideas with her and she always listened and gave the best advice!

My mom was this awesome..spiritual...ultra successful...courageous philanthropist! She was a business savvy fun loving spirit that I could talk to about everything! She saw so much more in me than I ever did. Without the both of them I felt sooo worthless and loss...like I was roaming aimlessly in a dark forest with no light or guide.

BUT.....then I met Kinyatta and felt more understood!! During that time The Heart Of Miss Bee was a thought....not yet birthed. Once THOMB was formed we were able to cultivate a community of healing and truth!! No longer did I feel like I had to hide the grief and sadness I had endured for years.

Our group meetings that were beautifully organized brunches and even Christmas parties, help me connect with others who shared my same feelings. It felt refreshing to create art, share happy memories and journal about how I felt....but this time I wasn't alone!!

Thank you sooo much Miss Bee....Thank you Kinyatta for pouring your whole self into this much needed resource and creating a home and safe space for many of us!! It's my pleasure to continue to support and share The Heart Of Miss Bee with everyone who will listen

In 2019 when my mother crossed over I really struggled to find my "new normal " .I felt so off balanced in life....but pressured to continue pushing through life with work, kids, home life etc, even though internally I was experiencing so much pain!! I missed the advice, my safety net and comforting space she always provided my sister and I!! When I met Kinyatta and attended our Brunch as well as other healing activities I FINALLY felt like I had a safe space to honor my mom....but more than that I FINALLY felt like I could just CRY..and GRIEVE!! THOMB was very instrumental in me address and processing through my grief I will forever be grateful

The Heart of Miss Bee has been encouraging, supportive and informative in the uplifting of broken hearts, due to the loss of a loved one. I attended my first event this Winter Season at a Griefmous Party. We connected with one another sharing our memories of our loved ones. There was food, music, games, arts and crafts. Most importantly there was love. Kinyatta Gray is a phenomenal woman who birthed this mission and vision. I have definitely been blessed by The Heart of Miss Bee.
