We aren’t a financial literacy organization. The phraseology financial literacy is rooted in financial shaming because it suggests that the socioeconomic harm we experience is our fault. We believe advancing wealth justice to create widespread social and economic change can only be done by addressing financial trauma and healing.

Blackfem was founded in 2015, so we've been operating for around 7 years.

Our goals are to maximize the wealth-building capabilities of the most purposely ignored groups (i.e Black women and women color), increase their material wealth, influence policy, and transform other local entities that transmit and perpetrate financial trauma.
