Why we're here

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.

Who it's for

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
What's inside

Everything you need to find your people.

Member Directory

Find Black Americans near you — by country, city, and the things you care about. Real people, not usernames.

Resource Library

Member-tested guides on visas, schools, haircare, healthcare, and the realities of building a life abroad.

Events & Meetups

Virtual welcome circles, city brunches, co-working mornings, and an annual retreat to gather in person.

Private Community

A members-only space to ask honest questions and speak freely, away from the noise of public social media.

“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.”
