Founding
The group is a social community formed by the black feminist organizations to empower black women in United States for the recent cultural shift, digital movement and engaging both black women and girls in the current pulse of movements. It is a platform to unite black women from all over the world to share their point of view about what it is being a black woman in US both socially and politically. The basic purpose of this community is to change the mindset of the people as well as the internal thoughts of black women about herself as being a neglected part of the society and to change the racial policies that are present in the US culture from a very long time while advancing intersectional strategies, making innovative and determinable solutions for bringing a change in society.
They recently have launched a movement named as "Freedom Dreams 2016". Their first initiative in this regard is that they have made visioning saloons known as the platforms to build vision and movement that centers the African-American feminist lives. Now, they want to make a change by coming into politics and revising the laws made up to defend the white for their wrong doings in this situation of racial discrimination. In order to find some entrance into the politics, they have selected a theme for their Visioning Saloons this year as "Freedom Dreams: Black Feminist Visioning Our Political Future" that will help them in defining a center and vision of Black Women and Girls.
