Our Story
We are the energy and the essence and deserve a world where Black women, femmes and girls live wholly.
I Be Black Girl (IBBG) is a collective action organization that leads with boldness, innovation and inspiration, actively creating a radical change-making culture that centers Black women, femmes and girls.
Inspired by the work of bell hooks and Audre Lorde, this organization provides transformational change at the intersections of gender and race. The term “I Be,” framed by author bell hooks in Be Boy Buzz, inspired IBBG’s founder to fill spaces with what it means to exist as a Black woman, femme or girl — where we are free to define and own that narrative.
