Take that first step today!
Start exploring AI, ask questions, and don’t be afraid to dream big. As Fei-Fei Li pointed out, “If you were a computer and read all the AI articles and extracted out the names that are quoted, I guarantee you that women rarely show up. For every woman who has been quoted about AI technology, there are a hundred more times men were quoted.” This highlights how crucial it is for you to join and contribute to AI, ensuring your voice is heard and represented. Whether it’s coding a game, building a robot, or creating an app that solves a problem in your community, AI is your playground. The world needs your brilliance, and AI needs your unique perspective.
Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is like giving computers superpowers to do things that usually need human smarts! Imagine teaching a computer to spot your favorite hairstyle in photos, understand your voice when you talk, or solve puzzles – that’s what AI does!
Here’s how it works: just like you learn by practicing or looking at examples, AI learns from tons of information. For example, to teach AI to recognize dogs, we show it thousands of dog pictures. Soon, it can spot dogs in new photos all by itself!
AI can do all kinds of cool things:
⭐ Chat with you, like a virtual buddy on your phone.
⭐ Look at pictures and tell you what’s in them, like spotting a soccer ball.
⭐ Help doctors find clues in medical pictures to keep people healthy.
⭐ Create fun drawings or stories, like imagining a superhero from your community!
But here’s the deal: AI doesn’t think or feel like you do. It’s a super-smart tool that helps us work faster and dream bigger. With AI, Black and Brown girls like you can design new games, create apps that help your community, or invent tools to make the world better!

How to build your dream life with AI? | Ngozi Elobuike
In her TEDx talk, award-winning entrepreneur, global AI strategist, and founder Ngozi Elobuike unpacks how she transformed a moment of rock bottom—sleeping on her sister’s couch—into a multi-country venture powered by AI. Now living across 3 countries – U.S., Ireland, and France and pursuing her 3rd Master’s degree (an MBA in Wine & Spirits), Ngozi has built Ireland’s first Black-led wine club, launched two premium beverage products, written an AI-powered travel book, and taught over 500+ creatives how to use AI to unlock their potential.

It All Started With An Idea
Meet the Founder
Our Story: How Black Girl Ai Began
Welcome to Black Girl Ai, a community that started with a simple idea and grew into something much bigger. Back in early 2023, I was teaching Midjourney sessions to Black women I’d connected with through a Facebook group. I shared countless images I created, which they turned into t-shirts, notebooks, ornaments, cups, and more. While I sold some of my work, I gave away much of it, inspired by their creativity.
The turning point came when these women started asking if I could teach their daughters too. That’s when I realized how I could make a real difference. Black girls need to learn AI just as much as anyone else. I’d already developed a deep passion for this technology, and I knew how important it was to make sure these girls wouldn’t get left behind as our world becomes more tech-driven.
That’s how Black Girl Ai was born.
As CEO today, I’ve expanded our community to welcome all BIPOC girls because diversity and inclusion aren’t just things I talk about. I’m a dedicated advocate for both. We may have started in 2023 and built some amazing connections along the way, but honestly? We’re just getting started. With big plans and incredible people now supporting us, we’re ready to really make our mark.
Black Girl Ai is proud to now welcome all Black and Brown girls ages 8-12, including Black, Indigenous, Latina, Asian, Middle Eastern, and mixed-race girls. Our community celebrates every girl of color who’s ready to explore AI and become a tech trailblazer!
