Hi Everyone. My name is Brittany, and I’m the creator of Black History Rocks. The idea for this platform came to me a few years after I graduated from undergrad, inspired by my desire to create a sacred space to celebrate and share my passion for Black history. From a young age, I’ve been deeply committed to not only learning about Black history but also sharing the incredible stories and lessons I’ve discovered with others.
Let’s face it—so much of our history has been deliberately excluded from traditional narratives. But representation matters. Understanding our full history empowers us and reminds us of the resilience and brilliance of those who came before us, who were creating and thriving despite unimaginable hardships. This belief in the transformative power of history, Black history to be specific, made pursuing both of my higher education degrees in African American Studies an easy and fulfilling choice.
Through Black History Rocks, I hope you find inspiration—whether on my website or via social media—that sparks your curiosity and fuels your desire to dive deeper into the richness of Black history.
Thank you for being here, and welcome to the journey!
“If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.”
