“Founded by Jasmine La Fleur, Black Fae Day is a online and in person celebration and an organization committed to the expansion of High Fantasy through uplifting the artistry, voices, stories, and communal experiences of Black people.

In March of 2021, Jasmine tweeted her wish to see Black people viewed in a positive light as fantasy characters on May 8th, 2021. On the day of the event, it became the second most trending topic of the day on Twitter and the movement’s hashtag, #blackfaeday, had reached millions of views between TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook in a single weekend. Jasmine created and registered Black Fae Day LLC as a business in the state of Oklahoma in June 2021. Black Fae Day LLC, as a business, provides events, online initiatives, and other creative means to increase positive representation of Black people in fantasy and mainstream media.

Our mission & vision: Black Fae Day is dedicated to promoting the representation of Black People in high fantasy across various media. Our core values are rooted in community, mental wellness, artistic expression, and preserving the tradition of Griots of Fantasy.”
