About Us.
From slavery to Jim Crow laws, black people throughout the United States, and the world, have endured an incomparable amount of racism, discrimination, and poverty solely based on their skin’s hue.
​
Despite this plight, black people resiliently survive and even thrive in an environment that was constructed to dismantle them. It’s this resilience we call ‘black magic.' Our resilience to persevere through oppression is unmatched.
​
“To be black, means to be resilient.
To be black, means to be blessed.
To be black, means to be admired by the sun.”
​
- black ingenuity.

“Black ingenuity is simply my contribution to this life. I wanted to create something that reminded boys and girls with a similar skin color that it is not their imagination; this world has created both visible and invisible walls to keep them stagnant."
​
I’ve taken it as a personal challenge to shed light on these walls, take a sledge hammer to them and pass that sledge hammer the younger generations.”
- Sina Hilbert
Founder of black Ingenuity.
