who

we are

Unity across borders

I Love Black People is a Pan African tech platform connecting Black people to safe, community-vetted spaces worldwide. Together, we crowdsource protection, share resources, and build a global network of support.

Our experiences deserve to shape the world

Black-owned and Pan African friendly businesses often go unseen, unsupported, and underrepresented, limiting economic power and visibility.

The Safety App highlights these businesses on a global map, helping users discover them and helping owners grow through community-driven visibility.

Centralized knowledge

Our Safety App brings wisdom together so Black people everywhere can benefit from one collective source.

our

story

What started as a crowdsourced list shared by community members has grown into a global movement.

The result is a growing digital ecosystem: a modern Green Book powered by everyday people, enriched with real stories, and supported by a global network of members. From healthcare to dining to travel, our platform helps Black people navigate the world with confidence and connection.

Every listing, every update, and every shared experience strengthens a system designed to protect us and celebrate us. That collective power is what continues to drive our mission forward.
