BADG empowers makers of African descent to create immersive spaces that center our culture and community and, through the principle of Ujima, collectively work together to share knowledge, support, and resources. Cultivating leaders in creative industries is how we thrive today and in our shared futures. As a mission-driven organization, we live by our values, creating opportunities for our members to thrive and reaching out to industry allies to support the great work of visionary Black artists and designers.
