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 patterns of systemic oppression in the workplace and elevate the ways that Black professionals thrive despite the 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 face of structural racism and sexism 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
Through our work, we’ve learned that lifting up examples of Black women’s reflections on navigating challenging 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.
OUR IMPACT
BlackFemaleProject’s Inaugural Impact Report: Reflections 2020, examines what we learned from spending five years listening deeply to individual and collective stories of professional Black women.
In addition to reporting on key findings, Reflections 2020 also shares the ways we imagine moving our work forward and invites engagement and insights from our audience and community.
