Black Women Disrupt is a social impact investment platform that maps and connects both individuals and networks with the goal of raising visibility and providing opportunities for women of African descent. We harness entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation to support the growth and economic empowerment of our community. 

Since 2018, BWD has co-sponsored events with women entrepreneurs, aka “Sister Disruptors”, from Brazil, Angola, the United States and Colombia, including the Sisters Speak and Alafia Mundo series. We have also launched global campaigns to recognize Black Women innovators around the world!

Most recently, BWD has partnered with Far Horizon Films, kweliTV, Atlantic Fellows, Africa is a Country, CEAF/ICESI, MUICA Film Festival and Howard University Graduate Film Program to launch an initiative called Black Women Disrupt the Web. This global web series competition was a six-month process offering financial investment, technical assistance, mentorship and masterclasses as well a cash prize to successfully produce an international showcase of five compelling original web series created by sister disruptors from Brazil, Colombia, Kenya and South Africa, hosted on the first worldwide black-owned streaming platform. Black Women Disrupt intends to amplify and continue to invest in the talent and leadership of Black women across the diaspora to inspire and challenge one another, co-create across borders and transform the societies in which we live.
