Our Story

IN 2014, WE STARTED GATHERING EXAMPLES OF HOW STRUCTURAL RACISM AND SEXISM PLAY OUT IN THE WORKPLACE. WE REALIZED THAT BY STUDYING HOW BLACK WOMEN HAVE SURVIVED IN THIS POST-AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ERA, WE CAN EMPOWER THE NEXT GENERATION TO THRIVE.

“I stepped into this Project with the thought that I would be giving, contributing, and sharing, not realizing how much I’d be receiving. I was able to talk through things that were happening at work and even talk through things that had happened previously that I hadn’t quite processed. For me, that was the ultimate gift that I was not even expecting to receive.”

-Dania W. Frink, Marketing and Visual Arts

For over seven years, we have collected and shared women’s stories in print, digital media, and through numerous events to center Black women in statewide and national conversations about organizational culture, communications and inclusion at work.
