Black Paris Social

Building a bridge to connect the diaspora in Paris

01The photography on this site was made for Black Paris Social. It sets the scene — it is not a live feed of posts.

Black Paris Social is a community platform and media project. We connect the Black diaspora in Paris to each other, and to what is actually happening in the city — the events, the businesses, the conversations, the guides.

    A bridge for the diaspora

    Connection between people first. The people here are the point, not the audience.

  2. 02

    Resources for the community

    Things worth knowing: who is open, what is on, where the gathering is this weekend.

  3. 03

    Welcome home

    For anyone who is Black and in Paris and has ever felt like a guest in their own city.

Where the community actually is

Everything runs on these four. The site is the doorway; the conversation happens there.

There is already a community here.

This site is only the doorway. The conversations happen on Instagram, on TikTok, in The Grapevine, and around the long table at The Cookout.
