28.3 Community-Building & Spaces

31.1 Resource Guides & Centers

A community for Black queer and trans women, nonbinary people and allies interested in working remotely. Historically, Black queer and trans women, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people have feared being our full selves in the workplace, but we are done hiding. White supremacy culture has harmed, burdened, and traumatized us for far too long. Our community deserves and demands safe spaces. Black Remote She is a community for Black queer and trans women, nonbinary people, and allies interested in working remotely. Our platform was created to build a safe space to transition into remote work with a progressive system of job sharing, a term coined by the late bell hooks in All About Love, which means we center the well-being of our community in everything we do. __WHAT WE DO__ Black Remote She facilitates job creation for historically excluded, underrepresented, and underemployed candidates. Black LGBTQI+ people are often faced with homophobia, racism, and discrimination from employers lacking and neglecting equity in their company culture. To combat this, we help connect job seekers to safe and flexible remote work environments. We conduct an annual job search check-in survey to align with the job opportunities posted to our platform with the needs of our community. The job opportunities shared on our website are from companies and organizations committed to bringing positive and lasting change for Black people in the LGBTQI+ community. We have an ongoing partnership with inside voices to capture BIPOC employee reviews about their current and former employer’s track record with diversity and inclusion. Company reviews are regularly reviewed and used for continued vetting of the opportunities posted on Black Remote She.
