About Us
Black Women of Evanston is a community organization established in 2016 by Annette Jeter Jean-Jacques. Following her relocation to Evanston, IL, Annette sought to connect with local friends with similar interests. Driven by her passion to build a supportive network for Black women, she initiated a Facebook group to bring together fellow residents of Evanston. Over time, the group has flourished, and currently has a membership of over 750 women and continues to thrive as a hub for empowerment, connection, and advocacy.
