Our goal of creating a world where Black women are valued and nurtured in the same way that Black women care for others. This will be achieved through 6 key areas: Justice & Equity, Health & Well-being, Community Building, Education, Leadership, and Construction of Knowledge & Research. We will enhance and integrate existing programs and build new ones where needed using our core principles:

• Center Black Women
• Partner with Black Women
• Demonstrate that Black Women’s Lives Matter
• Engage with Community Allies
• Leadership by Black Women

* All events focus on the history and lived experinces of Black Women/x/yn and Gender Expansive individuals. All are Welcome*
