Who We Are
Black Body Productions is an edutainment company dedicated to creating content and curating spaces—somatic, spiritual, and creative—that center Black, Queer, and Trans healing. We facilitate intimacy through collaborative meditation, process-based art, movement, play, and more.
Our workshops, reading circles, and community art projects welcome Black, Queer, Trans, Disabled, and Neurodivergent people—whether they live at the intersections of these identities or identify with just one.
Imani Noel Ford, the founder, lives at these intersections. Through ongoing grief, they’ve come to realize that their trans and neurodivergent identities are becoming increasingly salient. Acquired neurodivergence, ableism, and transphobia have shaped and transformed, expanded their perceptions of blackness. Affinity spaces are vital to them, and all spaces will be clearly designated to reflect this by focusing on activated spaces that are open to specific embodied wisdoms.
Black Body Productions’ spaces are designed to shift, evolve, and expand across diverse settings—art galleries, yoga studios, classrooms, nonprofits, community centers, and more. Where we do our work matters, and the potential of this work depends on the context and community in which it’s facilitated.
Imani curates and facilitates events tailored to specific communities, with a focus on collective healing and honoring the intersectional wisdom of Black, Trans-masculine, queer, femme, spiritual, kinky, ace-spectrum, neurodivergent, and estranged communities. Their lived experiences—being both seen and unseen while seeking artistic, intellectual, and spiritual community—have given them deep insight and capacity to hold space for those with more structural power, recognizing that their own intersections provide unique insight.
