Founding membership · €25/year · welcoming partners & family
Living abroad can be the adventure of a lifetime — and still feel lonely. BAE exists so you never have to figure it out alone.
We're building a warm, trusted network of Black Americans across Europe who share what they know, show up for one another, and make the continent feel a little more like home. From your first residence permit to your first real friendship here — we've got you.
Built for us — and the people building life with us.
BAE centers the Black American experience in Europe while warmly welcoming the spouses, partners, and family members who share the journey.
- Black Americans who recently moved — or are planning to move — to Europe
- Long-time expats raising families and building careers across the continent
- Spouses, partners, and family members building a life alongside us
- Students, creatives, founders, and remote workers far from home
Everything you need to find your people.

“When I moved across the ocean, I had the visa and the apartment figured out — but not the loneliness. I started BAE because I wished a community like this had been waiting for me. This is the table I always wanted a seat at.”
