Our story

Welcome to BLKSTORY — where Black history is more than a chapter... it's the foundation.

BLKSTORY was born from a deep realization:
We weren’t just slaves. We were scientists. Builders. Teachers. Revolutionaries.
Our story didn’t start in chains — it started with kingdoms, civilizations, and brilliance.

After learning the truth about our global impact, and the pain of figures like Sarah Baartman, I saw something missing — not just in classrooms, but in our homes, our conversations, and our youth.
No one around me knew her name. That moment lit a fire in me.
That’s when BLKSTORY was created.
