About Us
Black Jewel is black led and black serving nonprofit organization.
Embracing our culture is a source of strength, resilience. and empowerment for individuals and our community at large.

We must advocate for spaces that stimulates our sense of belonging and pride within the Black Community.
We invite you to journey with us as we establish Black Jewel Community Arts and Culture.. We envision a space that transcends the traditional boundaries of a cultural center. A gathering space is dedicated to community engagement that will stand as a beacon of Black culture and heritage.

The Power of Seven in Community

Culture is our bridge from the past to the present. It connects us, sustains us, and strengthens the shared values crucial to our resilience and empowerment . We believe that culture and community are at the heart of transformation. Guided by this vision, we are committed to creating safe, vibrant spaces for healing, celebration, education, and growth.
Through the Power of Seven we are raising vital support for workshops, events, and creative programs that will nourish, strengthen, and empower the Black community in Durham and beyond.
