This is what it looks like when you’re seen. When you’re held. When you’re home. 🖤 The BWB Family Reunion isn’t just an event. It’s a homecoming. A mirror. A reminder that you don’t have to shrink, code-switch, or explain your greatness. ✨In this beautiful POV, @myriamamichel shares what it feels like to move through a space she helped bring to life, built for us, by us. ✨ She wasn’t there as an attendee. She was behind the scenes, helping lead the charge with @mmeliteevents. But even in the midst of planning, producing, and pouring into every detail, the BWB Family Reunion found a way to pour right back into her. Because when a space is rooted in Black joy, intention, and belonging, it doesn’t just welcome guests. It holds everyone who touches it. If you’ve ever craved that feeling of ease, of connection, of legacy in motion, this is it. 🎥 Watch her story. Feel the energy. Then come and write your own.

🚨 IG LIVE ALERT 🚨 We’ve seen the discourse about EssenceFest. Now, let’s have the conversation. This Sunday at 6:30 PM EST, join us LIVE with @sheena_collier @kaniya.bwerkin for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what it really takes to sustain Black-led events and who we believe should be funding them. We’re pulling back the curtain on: 🔥 The real costs and impact of producing the BWB 5th Annual Family Reunion 🔥 The controversy around corporate sponsorship and what it means for Black-led spaces 🔥 Why Small Businesses for BWB isn’t just a campaign it’s a movement to reclaim how we fund and sustain our joy and culture 🔥 How community-led funding is the future as corporate DEI commitments fade PLUS: We’re spotlighting a small business boldly investing in our community and sharing how you can join the movement. This isn’t just a chat. It’s a call to action. If you believe in the power of Black-owned, Black-led, and Black-funded spaces, you can’t miss this. 📅 Sunday, July 13 ⏰ 6:30 PM EST 📍 Instagram Live @bostonwhileblack Set your reminder. Bring your questions.

What does it really look like when a city embraces the many cultures and identities across the African and Black diaspora? Through Neph’s eyes—a proud BWB member of Haitian descent—you see what it truly means to be part of this movement.🇭🇹 At last year’s BWB Family Reunion, she felt what so many of us did: the joy of being surrounded by people from everywhere… all coming together as one community. That’s what makes Boston unique—the diversity within our Blackness and the energy it brings to this city. In year 5, we’re turning up the volume on that truth! ✨ International DJs spinning sets that take us around the world ✨ Steel pan drum performances and beatboxing ✨ Dance lessons featuring Salsa, Bachata, Konpa, Brazilian styles and more! This is our fifth year—a milestone moment not just for Boston While Black, but for every member who’s helped shape this space.
