Hybrid (Nebraska)

I Be Black Girl

Date Posted: 6/10/2026

About I Be Black Girl 
I Be Black Girl (IBBG) is a collective action organization in Nebraska that leads with 
boldness, innovation and inspiration, actively creating a radical change-making culture that centers Black women, femmes and girls. 

Inspired by the work of bell hooks, Audre Lorde and other Black feminist and womanist, our organization provides transformational change at the intersections of gender and race. The term “I Be,” framed by author bell hooks in Be Boy Buzz, inspired IBBG’s founder to fill spaces with what it means to exist as a Black woman, femme or girl—where we are free to define and own that narrative. 

About the Position

The Maternal Health Initiative (MHI) Communications & Engagement Coordinator is embedded within the MHI Team and works cross‑functionally with the Community Engagement Team to keep both teams aligned on messaging, updates, and communication needs. The role supports the implementation of communication strategies for campaigns and narrative‑shift storytelling, while also planning and coordinating outreach for MHI events, programs, and community‑facing projects. The Coordinator also captures program activity and translates research, findings, and community insights into accessible, compelling materials for a range of audiences. 

This is a hands-on role suited for someone who understands comms strategy, can navigate sensitive topics with care, and thrives in a fast-moving, collaborative environment. Knowledge on outreach strategies in community-wide public health initiatives is preferred, but not required. 

Opens May 29th and closes June 16th at 5pm.
