Welcome to For Black Girls: a pioneering nonprofit organization dedicated to championing the empowerment of Black women and girls through a multifaceted approach encompassing education, literacy, arts, community, and advocacy.
Since our inception in 2018, For Black Girls Inc. has been at the forefront of creating pathways to equity and opportunity for Black women and girls of all backgrounds. Our vision is clear: to forge a society where every Black girl and woman, irrespective of her circumstances, enjoys unfettered access to the resources and support necessary to realize her boundless potential.
Central to our mission is the provision of holistic services that address the diverse needs of Black women and girls. Through a pioneering model, we cultivate a lifelong network of support, uniting Black women from various walks of life in a nurturing environment that celebrates their unique talents and strengths, devoid of any preconditions. We are steadfast in our commitment to dismantling barriers, confronting systemic injustices, and advocating tirelessly for the educational and artistic empowerment of Black girls and women.
At For Black Girls, we understand that equitable representation is the bedrock upon which true progress is built. Through innovative programming, bold advocacy campaigns, and robust community engagement, we equip Black women and girls with the confidence, resilience, and access to resources they need to thrive. From safe havens to professional development workshops, leadership training to artistic endeavors, and a plethora of curated events and interest groups, our comprehensive support system is tailored to the individual aspirations and ambitions of our members.
We invite you to join us in fostering a vibrant, inclusive community that uplifts and empowers Black girls and women of color to not only realize their full potential but to lead with confidence and pride. Together, let us create a future where every Black girl and woman stands tall, unbound by limitations, and equipped to chart her own path to success.
We believe…
We believe that achieving equity for Black womxn is essential for creating a just and inclusive society.
Our ethics…
Our ethics affirm that equity for Black womxn is a fundamental human right that must be upheld and actively pursued.
We stand…
We stand in solidarity with Black womxn in the fight for equity and justice.
In recent times, we have witnessed the emergence of Black-led communities that, regrettably, fall short of fully serving the needs of our vibrant community. These communities either fail to create a lasting and positive impact or only cater to the privileged few within the Black community. Tragically, many Black womxn find themselves excluded from these spaces or lack the transformational experiences that empower and uplift them. That's why we set out to establish a community that not only honors and celebrates Black womxn but also fosters an environment where they can feel safe, let their guard down, and connect with like-minded individuals. We aim to ensure that within this community, they can learn, be empowered, experience joy, and access valuable resources that enhance their quality of life.

Through our programs, advocacy, and community engagement, we aim to break down barriers, challenge systemic injustices, and foster a culture that celebrates Black girls' diverse strengths and talents. We are dedicated to building a world where every Black girl can thrive, achieve her full potential, and lead confidently and pridefully.
