Introducing Black Girl Narrative (BGN) and  its inaugural report, “The Love We Code: Black Women, Digital Safe Havens, and Resistance.” Founded by DeLisha Tapscott, Ed.D., and Nardos Ghebreab, Ph.D., BGN is committed to celebrating the complexities of Black womanhood through rigorous research and heartfelt storytelling. As they prepare for the official launch, we learned more about them and their platform.

How did you both meet?

DeLisha & Nardos: We met at work and first bonded over books and Blackness back in 2019. During the pandemic, we started a Black girl book club with a friend, and what began as a casual connection turned into daily check-ins as we navigated our doctoral journeys. The more we talked, the more we realized we had so much in common, including our love for Black women.

Do you believe in work-life balance? If so, how do you maintain it?

DeLisha & Nardos: Yes, but we believe in redefining it. For us, balance is about boundaries and checking in with our own capacity. Some days, that looks like full calendars; other days, it means logging off without guilt. Our work is about care, and we try to practice what we preach—even if imperfectly.

What events do you have coming up?

DeLisha & Nardos: We’re preparing to launch Black Girl Narrative on May 15, 2025, which includes the release of our report “The Love We Code,” the new website, and the first wave of content. Our physical product line drops in June, and we’ll begin rolling out campaigns and stories from our community right after launch.

What are you most excited about for the BGN launch?

DeLisha & Nardos: We’re excited to finally share the thing we’ve been quietly building in love and in community. We’re most excited to show Black women what’s possible when our stories are centered—not as case studies or call-to-actions, but as living, breathing testimony.

As BGN gears up for its launch, DeLisha and Nardos invite everyone to join them on this transformative journey, where Black women’s stories are not just told but celebrated and amplified.

How can our viewers remain connected?
