OUR STORY

Established in 2020

Black Womxn account for only 0.5% of New Hampshire's population. That means there are fewer than 14,000 Black Womxn in the entire state. Being part of such an extreme minority group can be very isolating. As Black Womxn, our needs are often ignored and overlooked, even though the state and the world benefit from our hearts, minds, and labor.

We created the Black Womxn in New Hampshire Social Club so we can have a space to come together, share our stories, and uplift each other. Our group is open to all Black Womxn who currently live in New Hampshire, have previously lived in New Hampshire, or are in the process of moving to New Hampshire.

This is an inclusive space for ALL Black Womxn in New Hampshire.
