Black Girls Tennis Club serves as a pathway to joy, radical wellness, and liberation for Black Women and girls.
关于我们
Joy equity and radical wellness are at the forefront of everything we do. We utilize our platform to inform, encourage, motivate, and change the narrative. Liberation through sports and PLAY is a significant concept that can transform communities. Our efforts support economic development, local tourism, family preservation, legacy, and generational abundance.
We focus on four key pillars to bring our mission into reality:
Culture Change - Creating an environment where Black women and girls in tennis have the same opportunities as everyone else on and off the court. Dismantling the systemic barriers that prevent equality in sports. Shifting attitudes around what’s appropriate in tennis culture.
Access - Working with local governments to assess public access to courts and tennis programming. Improving tennis conditions. Creating opportunities locally, nationally and globally for Black women and girls to see and participate in tennis and tennis-related activities.
Representation - Representation on and off the court, in decision-making rooms and the places and spaces that dictate tennis culture. Amplifying Black women and girls narratives in tennis.
Exposure - Introducing tennis as a source of health and wellness, opportunities, community, recreational play and joy for all ages. Exposure to the idea of hobbies as necessary and a lifestyle centered around community and radical wellness through individual liberation.

I am feeling incredibly proud and humbled today. The upcoming Tennis Creates Gala on December 7th will spotlight some exceptional individuals, and I'm honored to have worked alongside them. Here is a snapshot of three of those honorees deserving of recognition. Congratulations to Jen Kaine, who we will recognize for her incredible dedication to the Girls Rule the Court program! Jen's passion for inclusivity and tireless efforts to create a positive and supportive environment for young athletes inspires me daily. A big shout-out to the Black Girls Tennis Club for receiving the Provider Champion award.?Partnering together has been truly transformative, impacting the lives of over 150 girls this year alone. To Julius Mashonganyika, your well-deserved recognition for "Tennis in the Classroom" is a testament to your remarkable commitment to youth development. From leading teams to state championships to providing free tennis programs, you embody the spirit of service. These incredible honorees show how sports can uplift and empower. Their achievements inspire me, and I look forward to celebrating their many accomplishments at the Tennis Creates Gala in December! #USTAMidAtlantic #GirlsRuleTheCourt #BlackGirlsTennisClub

Our All-Girl Tennis Camp at Florida A&M University in partnership with Black Girls Tennis Club was an incredible step forward for our #WomenInTennis initiative. We didn’t just teach the game; we built confidence and inspired these young girls to see themselves as future trailblazers and leaders. We extend heartfelt thanks to FAMU and Black Girls Tennis Club for collaborating with us to make this camp such a meaningful experience. Your dedication has changed these girls’ lives and helped them unlock their potential—on and off the court.
