FUTURE BLACK FEMALE
Where Black women increase access to opportunities for Black female youth.
Through strong networks, skills advancement programs, and rights-based advocacy, Future Black Female (FBF) creates access across Canada and the globe to social, political and economic opportunities for Black girls and young women (16-22 years).
The well-being of Black female youth is our motivation.
To achieve our vision of a community-empowered Black female population, FBF relies on three pillars of community engagement:
Developing and initiating solution-focused strategies.
Establishing a network for action.
Ongoing support of established efforts within the community.

We ensure any work we do, any programs we run, and any resources and time spent are culturally relevant and responsive to the Black girls and young women we serve.
INTRODUCING THE UDADA PROJECT
Empowering Black Girls' Mental Health
Welcome to the Udada Project, an inspiring initiative by Future Black Female that's all about championing the mental well-being of Black girls and women across Canada. Udada, which means "sisterhood" in Swahili, is more than just a project—it's a movement. We're here to address the gaps in mental health services and to empower Black female youth to lead happier, healthier lives. We understand that every journey is distinct, and that's why our approach is designed to resonate with the diverse needs of our community. At the heart of this endeavour is the firm belief that every individual deserves access to mental health support tailored to their unique experiences.

Future Black Female, with head offices in St Catharines, Niagara Region, would like to acknowledge the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Haudenosaunee and Anishinaabe peoples, many of whom continue to live and work here today. This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today, the home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples is home to us too. We acknowledge the sacrifices made, forced and freely, by the Indigenous peoples of Canada in the formation of the country we call our home. As we acknowledge their continued contributions and their presence and ours upon this land, we are committed to being responsive to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and to our relationship with Indigenous peoples.
