BLACKFEMALEPROJECT

CREATING a world WHERE Black women ARE celebrated as our full selves without any negative consequence.

OUR STORY

Since 2014, BlackFemaleProject has been collecting stories, bringing women together, and providing resources that support professional and personal well-being.

We document the distinct, compounding barriers Black women face in the workplace when racial bias and gender bias intersect. We elevate the ways that Black professionals thrive despite these obstacles. We share these stories not only for our own personal healing, but also for the benefit of those who want to learn from our healing journeys and to expand collective awareness of our experiences. Our collection illuminates and contextualizes the patterned experiences that Black women encounter in the workplace.

“I stepped into this project with the thought that I would be giving, contributing, and sharing, not realizing how much I’d be receiving.

— Dania Wright

lifting up examples of Black women’s reflections on navigating professional terrain can provide models and resources to help the next generation thrive.

Our mission is to uplift the voices of Black women, affirm our experiences, and offer insights for achieving self-defined success in the workplace and beyond.
