The Right Kind of Black Girl

TRKBG is a Black-founded, female-led grassroots nonprofit organization committed to empowering Black communities.  Our work focuses on fostering generational wealth, addressing health disparities, challenging stereotypes, and healing from the effects of trauma to create lasting, positive change.

Our Story

The Issue:  We're Fighting for Our Survival

Across nearly every measure of well-being—including income, earnings, obesity, and food security—Women of color consistently face disproportionate challenges, often ranking among the lowest. The data below highlights the systemic inequities and daily obstacles they navigate in their pursuit of economic security and a better future for themselves and their families.

​Economic Security

Black Women in the U.S. are
typically paid 61 cents for every
dollar paid to white men.

Education

Black women face systemic challenges, including racial biases, underfunded educational institutions, and fewer resources to support their academic and career advancement.

Violence

Research has shown that Black girls, women, and non-binary individuals are particularly vulnerable to abuse. ​

Racism & Mental Health

1 in 10 Black individuals experience trauma as a result of racial adversity.​

Entrepreneurship

Black women-owned businesses have increased by 164%, yet Black women-led startups receive only 0.2% of total U.S. venture capital funding.

Fitness & Nutrition

The mortality rate for Black individuals is generally higher than that of white individuals for conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer.​

The Streets are Talking:
​What our members are saying about TRKBG

Ashlee
MEMBER SINCE 2019

“Getting involved with The Right Kind of Black Girl has been one of the best professional decisions I have ever made. I have had the privilege to work alongside like-minded Black women to design programs that positively impact the lives of other Black women and men in this country. Prior to joining, I had not really seen myself as entrepreneurial. Although this is something that my mother told me before, it is not something I have seen done in my family or my community. TRKBG has exposed me to ideas and given me the confidence and encouragement to pursue my own entrepreneurial adventures on my quest to financial freedom. I come from a community where we are expected to get a good job and work for someone else until we retire. It has been such a mindset shift to consider working for myself and making wealth and opportunity available to my family and friends through my own efforts.”

Tyra
MEMBER SINCE 2019

“When I joined TRKBG, I just wanted to find friends that looked like me and experienced life through the same lens. And even then, I was still worried about fitting in or whether I would be “Black” enough—as if that were a thing. I hoped to find a friend. Literally, I would have been happy with just one new friend. After just a few months, I saw a difference in the way I walked and the way I talked. I was more motivated to take on challenges and push myself to achieve goals in areas I did not previously know about. In my search for friends, I gained a sisterhood and confidence. I even developed my leadership skills. I have been encouraged to grow and expand my knowledge base and business capacity within and outside of the TRKBG. Without this organization, I would still be afraid to step outside of my box and meet new people and accept myself fully for who I am.”

Beryl
MEMBER SINCE 2018

“Moving to California was already a big risk for me but once I got here I struggled with making friends or just meeting genuine people. However, since joining the TRKBG I have a support system and I have also met some incredible professional women. Many of the women in the group are just like me and we all have something in common. I was able to expand my network and explore new experiences. I really enjoying learning about difference experiences these women have been through or are currently going through. I believe each member brings something unique to the group.”

Destiny
MEMBER SINCE 2019

“TRKBG has given me the opportunity to bond with several talented, driven, and intelligent Black women through shared experiences and engaging conversations. The group has encouraged me to open my mind to new ideas and enabled me to learn by trying new activities outside of my comfort zone.”
