Black authors.Black stories. Black af.

Black Girls Who Write (BGWW) was a tweet that cultivated a community to gather black women authors and provide a safe space of our own in the book world - a world where bad - ass indie authors are not recognized. However, it’s okay because now we have our own underground community where we continue to thrive!

The Creative Connection Retreat is our 3-day long event for Black women writers, independent authors, and creative entrepreneurs who want to build a recognizable brand, sell out your books, and boss up your entire business.

Writers and Creatives will leave the event with a stronger and more focused brand, enhanced writing, and creative skills.
