Meet the 2023-24 Innovation Fellows
Black Parent Innovation Lab is back for Year 2! We’re thrilled to officially announce our 2023-24 Innovation Fellows!
The Black Parent Innovation Lab is an opportunity for Black parents to experiment, iterate and hone new strategies to help their communities thrive.
Through intentional community building and hands-on design intensives, these 7 California-based Innovators will embark on a 6-month journey anchored in liberatory design and healing justice that sparks innovation, radical abundance, joy and play rooted in the power and possibility of Blackness.
We’ll be sharing more Black Parent Innovation Lab updates across social media and our website. Stay tuned to learn more about the brilliant projects being seeded towards Black Liberation!
Join us in welcoming our 2023-24 Cohort!
