Local Communities. National Legacy.

Voices of Black Grandmothers Chapters are the local extensions of our national mission—bringing the preservation, celebration, and advocacy of Black grandmother legacy directly into communities across the country.

Each chapter serves as a gathering place for connection, storytelling, service, and leadership, while remaining deeply rooted in the vision and values of Voices of Black Grandmothers.

Why Chapters Matter

Black grandmothers have always been community builders, culture carriers, and quiet leaders. Our chapters ensure that their voices are:

• Seen locally

• Heard nationally

• Preserved permanently

Through chapters, we create spaces where legacy is not only honored—but activated.

Each chapter reflects the needs of its community while aligning with the national mission.
