The Black Ballad Weekender 24

10 years ago, Black Ballad was created to give Black women in Britain a place to call home. Since then, hundreds of thousands of Black women have read BB articles, watched our videos and attended our events. You’ve been our paying members and we’ve paid you to be our writers and creators. In 2021, you even become our investors.

That’s why we have organised The Black Ballad Weekender – the ultimate event for black women, celebrating 10 years of black women, black stories and Black Ballad.
