Empowering the Black community to share its gifts now and for generations to come
You need information on the Black experience and resources in Japan.
You feel alone, undervalued, or invisible and are looking for an accepting community.
You miss having meaningful conversations and feeling safe to truly express yourself.
You’d like easy access to the many Black communities in Japan to make valuable connections.
You want to share your knowledge and resources to empower Black people to achieve success in Japan.
Your children need Black cultural awareness, love, and appreciation for their heritage while being raised in Japan.
We know what it feels like to be outsiders, to start something new, to want to know your story and want to share it with others. We’ve walked this path. It’s a struggle to want to invest in yourself and your community and not have your community invest back in you.
We are your community and we’re here for you.
We bring our members together through in-person and virtual events and by providing accessible digital and physical spaces for all to come together to collaborate. We support the African American experience in all of its forms, embrace all expressions of Blackness, and celebrate and elevate the community in which we reside.
We curate, create, and publish content that is relevant to our members. We build, maintain, and manage resource libraries to enable our community to find information and partners that can help them meet both life and business objectives. This information is designed to provide guidance for a range of challenges in one’s life.
