Building Safe Havens for Black Women
We use storytelling as both an art and a method of advocacy. Through our films, installations, community initiatives, and written work, we translate story into action. Each project invites people to witness the depth of Black women’s lives and to imagine freer futures.
Our work connects creativity, research, and culture, making space for honest representation and collective healing. We are building an ecosystem where Black women’s stories are protected, expanded, and celebrated across generations.
The Power of Stories AND
Transforming Narratives
Stories are more than reflections; they are evidence of survival, imagination, and transformation. For Black women, storytelling is a form of truth-telling that reclaims agency, interrupts erasure, and shapes new possibilities.
At Black Girl Narrative, we celebrate stories that connect, challenge, and heal. Movements like #SayHerName and #BlackGirlMagic remind us that story has always been a catalyst for change. We continue that legacy by creating spaces and projects that show how narrative can shift culture and affirm belonging.
The Impact of Our Work
At Black Girl Narrative, our work is rooted in the lived experiences of Black women navigating digital spaces as sites of resistance, kinship, and care. Our research uncovers the systemic inequities shaping Black women’s digital presence and the strategies they use to build sanctuary. Findings from The Love We Code reveal that Black women consistently face harassment, algorithmic suppression, and digital exploitation—yet they continue to carve out spaces of joy, safety, and advocacy. Despite platform barriers, Black women create and sustain digital havens where care, connection, and resistance thrive. These insights fuel our advocacy to hold platforms accountable and to reimagine digital spaces as sites of liberation, not harm.

Join the Conversation
Black Girl Narrative is a storytelling and cultural advocacy collective that centers the experiences, memories, and creative labor of Black women. We build projects, stories, and spaces that affirm our complexity, challenge the systems that silence us, and create new pathways for belonging.
Our work lives at the intersection of story, culture, and care. We create films, installations, and written works that invite people to see Black women as whole, not flattened by stereotypes or filtered through institutional language. Through each project, we translate lived experience into artistic expression, research, and community practice.
Black Girl Narrative is both a creative studio and a home for storytelling that holds weight. We produce work that moves between public art, academic inquiry, and community conversation, allowing stories to live where people actually are. We do this not to perform representation but to make visible the worlds Black women have always been building quietly, lovingly, and with intention.
