About US
Black Girls Gather equips Black women graduates and entrepreneurs with the tools, strategies, and networks necessary to realize their full potential. Through skill development, mentorship, and community connection, we support participants in strengthening their economic mobility, leadership capacity, and entrepreneurial success. We are committed to fostering agency, ensuring that Black women are empowered to define, pursue, and sustain their own pathways to achievement.
Join Our Journey
Our exploration of entrepreneurship is based on the Nguzo Saba Principles. Namely, Kujichagulia (self-determination), Ujamaa (cooperative economics) and Ujima (collective work and responsibility).
Principles and Values
All of our programming through Black Girls Gather is guided by the following principles and values:
Inclusion and Diversity
We believe that diversity is important, and we recruit, welcome, and respect individuals from diverse backgrounds, needs, abilities and identities.
Safe and Supportive
We provide space for everyone to take intentional risks and put themselves in their stretch zone to encourage learning.
Meaningful Contribution
We support participants in making a meaningful contribution to others and their communities.
Appreciative Approach
We use a strengths-based approach that honours and builds upon the skills, talents, and resources that individuals and communities have.
Experiential Learning
We provide opportunities for participants and ourselves to learn and improve by practicing, experimenting, and playing.
Relationships and Partnerships
We believe that we go far when we go together.
