​Black Girl White Coat

A 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides academic resources, mentorship, and scholarships to Black women pursuing careers in healthcare.


Representation. Mentorship. Scholarship.

Building a more equitable future in healthcare — one white coat at a time.

Our Mission

Our mission goes beyond increasing the number of Black women in healthcare. We’re here to make sure they’re supported at every step of the journey.

Our Story

From vlog to national movement


What began in 2016 as a personal vlog on YouTube has grown into a nationally recognized nonprofit organization reaching thousands across the country.

Black Girl White Coat (BGWC) was founded to diversify the face of healthcare by uplifting students who have been historically excluded or overlooked. We provide the academic resources, mentorship, and scholarships that help Black women pursue — and thrive in — healthcare careers.

We understand the journey because we’ve lived it.
From pre-med to practice, we know the barriers students face and the support they deserve. That’s why BGWC creates programs, platforms, and opportunities that ensure every aspiring provider has the tools, guidance, and community needed to succeed.

 

We’re not just about the numbers, we’re changing the narrative.
