The Black experience can be so concretely defined in
the mainstream that it feels suffocating. There are
mainstream ideas reflecting what people assume
about Black people and how they should sound, live
and act. This stagnates the fluidity of Blackness. This
program explores Black culture and other cultures through the lenses of
Black women and girls. Members build
sisterhood over food while supporting local
businesses, and they foster a brave space where women
feel welcome to speak their truth. Our cultural explorations are not exclusive to Black American culture. We are open to learning about all cultures, but we prioritize Black-owned businesses.
Our Mission
The Right Kind of Black Girl provides a pathway to freedom from oppression through unity, economic advancement, and living a life of wholeness. We envision a world where Black people are free from racial disparities, depression, and isolation.
