Who We Are
A Community Built on the Power of One Flame
Les Flambeaux was born from a simple truth: when one woman rises, she carries others with her. We are a community of African women rooted in Houston, connected across the diaspora, who believe in the transformative power of mentorship, authentic leadership, and shared stories.
With a special commitment to French-speaking African women, we create spaces where every voice is heard, every story matters, and every flame is honored.
