BLM Grassroots initiated Black Women Are Divine as a national call to Black women across the world to reclaim their divinity in the names of #BreonnaTaylor, #SandraBland, #WakieshaWilson and all Black women whose lives were stolen by state-sanctioned violence.
This national campaign was developed as a reminder and opportunity for Black Women to celebrate life in collective joy, solidarity and power.

Black Lives Matter Grassroots is proud to announce the launch of the “Black Women Are Divine” (BWAD) campaign for March 2025, a month-long celebration dedicated to honoring the divinity, strength, and resilience of Black women. This year’s campaign will spotlight 31 remarkable Black women from around the globe, each recognized for their invaluable contributions to their communities and beyond.
