What started with an Instagram post in early 2020 has grown to a collective of hundreds. 
Since immigrating to Canada from Nigeria, Itse Hesse struggled with the lack of safe spaces for Black women to connect with and support each other. She officially founded the Black Girl Collective (BGC) in July 2020. What began on a whim as an Instagram account grew into a vibrant and inclusive community of Black women and non-binary people.

In this episode, I talk to Itse about why and how she founded BGC and what she has learned along the way about building a thriving community, online and off.
