Who We Are

At IEBWC, we're all about creating spaces where Black women's voices are not only heard but uplifted and celebrated. We provide a collaborative platform where members can come together to share their experiences, discuss ideas, and prioritize our collective needs. Through engaging dialogue and meaningful connections, we're able to foster a sense of community and solidarity that empowers each and every one of us. Founded in 2021, our collective vision is rooted in building power and solidarity for Black women and their organizations, while also strengthening the broader Black community and expanding consciousness about the intersecting challenges we face.

Collective Work and Responsibility

We believe that all Black Women’s voices should be celebrated, are welcomed, valued, and important. We do not perpetuate patriarchy, misogyny/misogynoir, sexism, classism, anti-Black racism, homophobia, transphobia, elitism, ageism, ableism, or any other discriminatory ideology. 

MISSION

We provide a collaborative space to hear Black women’s voices, discuss ideas, and prioritize our collective needs. In addition, we provide the tools, and training for the political, economic, and social strategies designed to engage Black women in a  self and communal empowerment process to remove systemic barriers to accessing justice, liberation and success.

VISION

We are a collective of Black Women whose vision is to build power and solidarity for other Black Women and their organizations, strengthen the Black community, and expand Black consciousness regarding the intersectionality of our lives and work.
