Being Black and neurodivergent makes finding resources for information, support, and community that much more difficult. With a potential exodus from some of the major platforms, I thought it would be excellent for Black neurodivergent creators to have a resource where there’s a hub for them to be found. The algorithims often don’t favor our content. As a visible creator I wanted to be certain that our contributions don’t get lost in the scramble for new platforms.
This is a resource I will maintain as often as possible, if I make some type of error, kindly email me and I’ll gladly repair it. This resource will be maintained on my personal time, so please be patient. If you’d like to support the effort, you can do so on the Show BGLK Some Love! page.
