BFF
MEMBERSHIP
Are you a new or long-time Black feminist leader or activist?
Do you want to defeat misogynoir and advance Black feminisms? Are you looking for a community of Black people who are interested in liberation to learn and grow with? If so, our community of Black feminist leaders is the hub for you. Black Feminist Future (BFF) is a member centered organization and our members help inform our work, campaigns and initiatives. At BFF, we’re centering leadership development, community care, and joy in order to build the political and social power that we need to win concrete changes in our lives, community, and beyond.
Being a member of Black Feminist Future is an opportunity to practice our politics and build something powerful together. And who doesn’t want to defeat misogynoir and advance Black feminisms?
To be a member of BFF, you must be a Black woman, girl, or gender-expansive person. Black Feminist Future recognizes that we don’t have an all-encompassing definition for gender-expansive since gender is a dynamic and ever-changing experience. This space is intended for those who experience life and violence at the nexus of gender and Blackness. Those who walk through the world marginalized. Our members meet to engage in changing that world through the lens of Black feminisms.
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
