ABOUT US
The Black Parent Group Chat was created to give Black families access to the kind of information, community, and shared knowledge that too often lives in silos.
What started in November 2025 as a series of social media conversations quickly grew into a deeply engaged community of over 25,000 parents, caregivers, and educators across the United States and beyond.
At its core, this is a space for people raising Black children to come together and be honest about what it takes to support them—academically, socially, and emotionally.
WHY THIS COMMUNITY EXISTS
Many of us are navigating systems that were not designed with our children in mind.
We’re making decisions about schools, opportunities, and environments without always having access to the information, networks, or insight that make those decisions easier.
And too often, the most valuable lessons (the ones that could help another family avoid a misstep or move with more clarity) are learned in isolation. Black Parent Group Chat was built to change that.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe there's no one “right” way to raise or educate our children.
Our families span public schools, private schools, homeschool, and everything in between. What connects us is not a single approach, but a shared commitment: we want the best for our children, and we are intentional about how we get there.
We also believe that knowledge should be shared, not gatekept.
WHAT WE DO
Black Parent Group Chat is a growing, community-driven hub for resources, conversation, and collective learning.
We:
- Share practical resources and opportunities for students in grades K–12
- Create space for parents to exchange real experiences - the wins, the challenges, and everything in between
- Host virtual conversations with community members and experts
- Curate tools like our summer programs list, which includes hundreds of opportunities for elementary, middle, and high school students
- Provide ongoing content and newsletters to keep families informed and equipped
Everything we build is rooted in one idea:
we move further, faster, when we share what we know.
