Our Vision
Girl R.E.L.A.X. has a vision to Revitalize the community by Evaluating where our shortcomings are. It is no secret that mental health services, such as counseling and therapy, have a negative stigma in the black community. Girl R.E.L.A.X. wants to help with removing this stigma. Our organization pushes us to Love one another in our faults, but also Acknowledge that in order to rise above the hardships we face, we have to eXamine ourselves from within.
Our History
Girl R.E.L.A.X. was founded in February 2020 by Angela McKinney. Angela is a believer in Jesus Christ, a Wife, and a mother of two beautiful children. She was born and raised in Dallas, TX and graduated from Duncanville High School. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Tyler, graduating in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, then completed her graduate studies at the University of Phoenix, graduating in 2017 with a master's in public administration. Her professional career has spanned over 10 years with the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS). She first started as a DFPS caseworker, and throughout her career received multiple promotions to her current position as a Regional Systems Improvement consultant to statewide management members and stakeholders. During her tenure, she found that there were at times a lack of proper mental health service availability in predominantly black communities. To combat this inadequacy, she strived to create an easy online solution for those in need to navigate. Thus Girl R.E.L.A.X. was born.
Girl R.E.L.A.X. acts as an online hub for black professionals to offer services ranging from mental, physical, and spiritual health. Our organization has the goal of increasing the quality of life and wellbeing within the black community, by offering a one-stop-shop of wellness professionals to our consumers.
