The program was originally designed in 2020 for Black girls in 吃瓜黑料网 secondary schools in response to one of the Centre of Excellence for Black Student Achievement mandates to 鈥渄evelop and facilitate culturally responsive and relevant healing practices for groups of students鈥�. The BGBC is a space that counters misrepresentations, stereotypes and discrimination that Black girls experience in schools.

In 2021-2022, the Black Girls Book Club was expanded to include Black middle school girls in Grades 6 to 8.
