About this Event

The Breathtakingly Black Fashion Experience is more than a fundraiser—it’s a movement. This year we will explore Ghana and the Gold Coast, and how history impacts our present day experiences. Our mission is to empower underserved individuals and communities through creativity, cultural education, and personal & professional development. From runway showcases to historical art exhibits, emotional storytelling to building community connection, BBFE offers an unforgettable, purpose-filled experience. Every ticket supports local arts and talent, honors change-makers, and helps us build a stronger, more inspired Dayton! In a time when our voices are being silenced and opportunities are becoming scarce, your support will directly fund our suicide prevention efforts, scholarships, grants, and resources that provide tangible, life-changing opportunities for individuals striving for success despite systemic barriers. Join us—because this is more than fashion, it’s Breathtakingly Black!
