About Us

We are a gathering place that welcomes ALL Black women at Duke, including undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. We celebrate the experiences of trans, queer, disabled, and low-income women. We also welcome Black nonbinary or gender-nonconforming folks who feel drawn to our space while recognizing that their experiences are fundamentally different than those of Black women.
