We recently connected with Falasha Harrison and have shared our conversation below.

Falasha, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about serving the underserved.

Yes, I serve an underserved community—because I am that community.

Her Legacy Co. was born from a place of pain, purpose, and holy conviction. I didn’t create this organization to check a box or follow a trend. I built it because I was tired of watching systems fail us—especially families fractured by incarceration, cycles of abandonment, and generations of unhealed trauma.

We work with fathers who were incarcerated when their daughters were still in pigtails—daughters who are now women, leaders, mothers, and truth-tellers navigating life with invisible bruises from a love they never fully received.

And I know that pain intimately.

During my own mental health hospitalization, what came up wasn’t just the stress of adulthood—it was the little girl still waiting for her father to show up. That moment cracked me open and made it clear: this isn’t just a nonprofit. This is soul work. It’s legacy work.

Her Legacy Co. serves those the world tends to forget:

Fathers trying to rebuild what they were never taught.

Daughters learning to lead while healing.

Black and Brown families labeled “too broken to save” by systems that never tried.

We don’t offer band-aids—we build blueprints. We lead a national study called Rooted in Presence because we believe fatherhood matters. And not just for men—but for the women they raise and the futures they shape.

This matters because we cannot talk about healing, leadership, or justice without talking about family. We cannot talk about family without talking about the ones who were never allowed to fully show up.

So yes, we serve the underserved—because we are fighting to restore what should’ve never been broken to begin with.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

I’m P. Falasha Harrison—social entrepreneur, strategist, and founder of Her Legacy Co. I don’t just run a nonprofit—I build systems of restoration for people who’ve been overlooked, discarded, or labeled “too complicated” to help.

Her Legacy Co. exists to restore families and rebuild legacy. We do that by confronting the spiritual, emotional, and institutional systems that have fractured Black and Brown communities for generations—especially those impacted by incarceration and father absence.

I started this work not because it sounded good—but because it was my life. I grew up without a present or affirming father. That absence shaped how I moved through the world. But I didn’t just want to heal—I wanted to understand what the presence of a father actually does to a daughter’s identity, confidence, and leadership.

That’s what sparked our flagship project: Rooted in Presence—a national study and cohort exploring the long-term impact of fatherhood on women’s development.

What sets us apart?
We’re not offering surface-level programming. We are unearthing truths and building transformational models rooted in data, lived experience, and generational repair. Our programs include:

A reentry—and in many cases, first-entry—initiative for men who were incarcerated as teenagers in adult penitentiaries. These men aren’t just returning home—they’re entering society for the first time. Many have never experienced adulthood outside of prison walls. And that distinction is critical. It demands a different kind of leadership, a deeper level of patience, and a compassionate understanding that integration is not the same as reentry. We create space for healing, identity reconstruction, and relationship restoration that honors that complexity.

Leadership development for women shaped by fatherhood trauma—because healing isn’t a buzzword, it’s a birthright.

Mental health and storytelling platforms that drive cultural and policy change—because data tells the story, but stories move the people who write policy.

I am most proud of how unapologetically honest and deeply needed this work is. I don’t shrink. I don’t sugarcoat. I speak for the daughters still waiting. The fathers trying to come home emotionally—not just physically. And the families ready to break generational patterns without losing their dignity in the process.

Her Legacy Co. isn’t just a nonprofit—it’s a movement.
And I’m not just a founder—I’m the blueprint.

This work is personal.
It’s prophetic.
It’s strategic.

And while we center fatherhood and healing, our lens is wide:
We’re looking at systems—school systems, prison systems, family systems, religious systems.
We are disrupting the narratives that tell Black and Brown families they’re broken beyond repair and replacing them with tools that make healing not only possible, but inevitable.

We don’t operate in pity or performance—we operate in purpose.

Whether I’m leading a policy discussion, sitting with a father who hasn’t spoken to his daughter in 15 years, or watching a woman rewrite the story of who she is—my role stays the same:

I restore what the world tried to erase.

I hold space for the complicated truths.

And I demand that legacy be something we live, not just something we talk about after death.

If you’ve ever been told you were “too much,” “too far gone,” or “too late”—Her Legacy Co. was built with you in mind.

We don’t ask permission to heal.
We just do it.
And we lead others to do the same.

Her Legacy Co. is where faith meets structure, where healing meets strategy. We don’t just gather people—we mobilize them. We don’t just share stories—we build systems that make restoration sustainable.

Every framework we create, every cohort we lead, every policy conversation we enter—it’s all done with one goal in mind:
to make legacy tangible, not theoretical.

Because healing is not just a feeling—it’s a responsibility.
And legacy doesn’t just happen—it’s built.

So when people ask what I do, I tell them this:

I restore what should’ve never been broken.
I create what no one else thought was possible.
And I do it with the boldness of someone who’s lived through it—and refuses to leave others behind.

This isn’t charity.
It’s correction.
It’s reclamation.
It’s Her Legacy Co.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

Absolutely!

Before I became a founder, strategist, or speaker—before the Harvard certifications, the campaigns, or the boardrooms—I was a little girl wondering why my father didn’t show up. That absence didn’t just hurt, it shaped me. It impacted how I loved, how I led, and how I saw myself. But I didn’t stay there.

Instead of letting that story define me, I built something from it. Her Legacy Co. was born out of that personal ache—a national nonprofit rooted in restoring families and rebuilding identity for those society often overlooks.
We don’t just talk about healing—we build systems for it.

When I launched Rooted in Presence, our flagship study on the impact of fatherhood on daughters, I wasn’t just collecting data—I was finally telling the story I never got to tell.

There were moments I wanted to quit. Times I was running a company, managing mental health, and navigating personal loss with nothing but my faith and a deadline.

But resilience isn’t about never breaking. It’s about what you build after the breaking.

And I decided to build legacy.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

I didn’t build my reputation by playing it safe or staying quiet.
I built it by being the strategist most people weren’t ready for—but couldn’t ignore.

I say what others won’t. I design what others don’t. And I center the people most systems leave behind.

From growing BECMA’s membership by 250% in under a year to helping formerly incarcerated leaders develop sustainable re-entry programs, my work lives at the intersection of strategy, identity, and legacy. I don’t just restructure nonprofits—I redefine what leadership looks like when it’s rooted in truth, equity, and restoration.

What helped me build my reputation is simple:
I don’t separate strategy from soul.
I bring my full self—faith-filled, data-driven, culturally grounded—to every room.
Whether it’s coaching a founder, designing a research cohort, or speaking on systems reform, people remember me because I don’t water it down. Ever.

And that level of clarity? It builds trust, impact, and legacy—every time.
