About Us

As the founder of Vessels of Strength, God has truly given Dr. Amber N. Hearn a heart to provide a space for African American male voices to be heard relative to their successes. Dr. Hearn birthed Vessels of Strength initially through the Facebook social media page created in 2014, and the literature review she completed for her research course in her doctoral program, as a student at Loma Linda University.  To encourage and support many African American men around the world, Dr. Hearn collaborated with three African American men to mentor others through our first book, entitled Vessels of Strength: Can you hear me now? Screaming Into Destiny!  Since developing a platform for men to have their voice heard, Dr. Hearn expanded her support to women and men who are undergraduate, graduate, and/or doctoral students. Dr. Hearn is serving all regions nationwide excluding Riverside County in California at the time.

Mission: To empower men and women through mentorship to operate in their highest potential and to provide encouragement and proactive support throughout their journey.
