Learn and Slay 2026 was a Success!

Vision

To create a world where Black women have access to the connections, knowledge, resources, and opportunities needed to thrive, lead, and build lasting wealth.

Founder

Hi! My name is Chioma Irene Iheme, but you can call me “Chiomirockii”—which is also my handle across all social media platforms.

Dear Black Women in Italy is a support system, a community for Black women living all across Italy and beyond, a runway, a voice, and a village. It is everything you think it is, and more.

~ This community felt like breathing again after feeling boxed in as a Black woman in Italy. Seeing Black women thrive shifted what I believe is possible, and I’m grateful, grounded and excited for all we will build together.
