About Our Work

We have always been free.

Founded in 2017, Black Freedom Fellowship (BFF) creates spaces to honor the innovative genius of historically marginalized people globally through art, community engagement, and direct support.

Rooted in the belief that liberating the most oppressed among us ensures a free future for all, BFF centers the needs and genius of Black, Indigenous, and Queer communities.

BFF directly invests in the local development of culturally rich communities that are impacted by economic exploitation. Our work expands to places like Jacmel, Haiti, and Bahia, Brazil as well as some U.S.A. initiatives in Houston, Texas, and Oakland, California.

Our work is committed to reminding marginalized people that

Freedom is our Earth-right.
