Our Story. Our Resilience. Our Legacy
The Black Nexus is a movement — a community for Black people to gather locally, connect virtually, learn together, and mobilize nationally. Whether online or in person, we move with one shared heartbeat.
Local & Virtual
Workshops
National actions
The Black Nexus is a movement—a community for Black people, by Black people. We come together in three ways:
Locally: city-based chapters where members gather in person and build connection.
Nationally: shared programs, teach-ins, and campaigns that unite us across borders.
Virtually: spaces to gather anytime, even if your city or local chapter hasn’t started yet or programs aren’t happening—you still have a place to connect.
Our goal is simple: to create a living network where connection, culture, and collective ACTION THRIVE — one heartbeat, many voices.
Affirming spaces to connect and belong.
Skill-shares, teach-ins, and resources.
Mentorship, referrals, and mutual aid.
Rooted in legacy, building our future.
We’re piloting chapters in select cities and expanding soon. Bring The Black Nexus to your city and join a growing network of Black communities united in purpose.
