Black Fangirls Unite is a multifandom Tumblr dedicated to celebrating black characters and creators in fandom, promoting black fangirls, and discussing issues that impact black women in fandom.
Mission
It’s not just tv. It’s not just a comic, a movie, a whatever. The problems addressed here have long impacting effects on the black community, especially black women. Look here at the doll test. Little black boys and girls grow up hating themselves. It is serious. Nothing we do is pact away in a bubble. Fandoms do no exist in a fairy tale land where everything is pretty and perfect and rainbows and no tears.Get your head out of your ass and take a seat somewhere in the back if you can’t understand this.
Anyway, this blog is not only about discussion sad things, its about celebrating being a black fangirl, promoting one another and having fun. This is a safe community that includes all black women, neurotypical and neuroatypical, cis and trans, het and queer, from trekkie to anime nerd to superwholockian, everyone has a home here.[1]
