ABOUT BLACK WOMEN ADVENTURES Inc.
Empowering Black Women Through Wellness
Black Women Adventures (BWA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Black women to prioritize their health and wellness. Our mission is to create supportive spaces where Black women can enhance their well-being, not only for themselves but also for their families and communities.
Through outdoor adventures, fitness programs, wellness workshops, community events, and educational resources, we inspire Black women to embrace active, fulfilling lifestyles. We recognize the transformative impact of movement, nature, and sisterhood on mental, physical, and emotional well-being. By fostering a strong sense of community, we empower Black women to lead healthier lives and cultivate lasting connections.
HOW IT STARTED
Humble Beginnings
BWA was born from a simple but powerful idea—Black women exploring the outdoors together.
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, founders Cece and Nicole sought a way to stay active while socially distancing. What started as casual hikes with a few friends quickly became a meaningful practice, improving their mental and physical health.
After two years of consistent hiking and witnessing the positive changes in themselves, they decided to create a formal group. Black Women Adventures took to social media in late 2022 with a mission to make outdoor adventure and wellness more accessible to Black women.
As the community grew, so did the vision. It became clear that BWA could make an even greater impact with the right resources. In 2024, Black Women Adventures officially became a non-profit organization, allowing us to expand our reach, host more transformative experiences, and uplift even more Black women on their wellness journeys.
