Since 2019, the Black Girls’ Guide to Surviving Menopause has been a multi-media platform with Reproductive Justice, Black Feminism, and Healing Justice as our north star. At its core, this means we fundamentally believe that none of us are free until all of us are free, and when the most vulnerable of us are taken care of, all of society stands to benefit. BGG2SM unapologetically stands in solidarity with all marginalized people and their struggle for freedom, and their demand of their innate human rights.

 

The Black Girl’s Guide to Surviving Menopause is the only Southern Black Women-led platform focused on normalizing menopause through a socially engaged practice of art and activism. We operate with a Black feminist ethos rooted in equity and informed by a deep belief that our collective relationships with capital and resources should be visionary, creative, and equitable. We also recognize that our positionality of privilege or oppression can shift depending on with whom we are in negotiation. While we often provide our offerings on a sliding scale financial approach for organizations that are under-resourced or more grassroots, engagements with larger, well-resourced organizations are offered at a market consulting rate that reflects our full experience, intellectual labor, and education.

In doing this, we are then able to bring our skills and resources to work happening at the frontlines of reproductive and healing justice movements.
