Social Wellness Club Creates A Third Space For Black Women
Aley Clark created Black Girl Playground in 2023 as an Instagram community. During the pandemic Clark was looking for moments for joy and play. She believed there was a need for a space for Black women to gather. Once she moved to Chicago, the Black Girl Playground turned into a social wellness club where women could meet and connect at events.
