Black Girl Stream

Black Girl Stream supports the mental health of black women during the COVID19 pandemic by celebrating Black girl joy by streaming a movie every Friday at 7:00 pm/EST that highlights black women actors, directors, and stories. The genesis of Black Girl Stream was in direct response to the COVID19 virus. Among black women, we wanted to promote hope, joy, and sisterhood in these uncertain and scary times. Studies show that sister circles are powerful anecdotes against depression for Black women.

And, with this, Black Girl Stream creates digital sister circles weekly with our: (1) Streaming of a black woman centered movie; (2) Physical challenges of cosplay based on streamed movie; (3) Mental health exercises of sharing photos and memories based upon streamed movie; and (4) Belly laughs and emotional sharing during our post-ZOOM chat after the streamed movie.

The movies we have streamed are Self-Made: Inspired by the Life of Madam CJ Walker, Girls Trip,  Fast Colors, The Clark Sisters: First Ladies of Gospel, Dream Girls, Eve’s Bayou, and Selah and the Spades. Additionally, our private Facebook group page grows by 100 new members, weekly. Right now, we have a captive audience of 3,000 black women. Furthermore, our movie streams can net 3,000 plus black girl joy comments, expressions, and posts during our 2 hour stream of a movie.
