What is Black Virtual Assistants?

Because WE are Qualified

Who We Are

Black Virtual Assistants (BVA) is a community of (POC); black and brown people who have a strong passion to cultivate a space where ALL People of Color have the opportunity to be seen and hired. As People of Color, we understand the potential challenges around being deemed qualified professionals (whether that is becoming hired, networking, and collaborative opportunities) when others view us as a secondary option. However, Black Virtual Assistants is here to be a voice and attest that People of Color (POC) should be considered by all means with the same regard as anyone else; not only because of our qualifications and merit but because we are human beings who warrant the same respect and indeed are capable. 

Things To Know!

BVA is NOT an agency. We have aligned ourselves with vetted service-based providers. Our reputation is the fiber of our credibility, hence, we would not recommend anyone that we wouldn’t work with ourselves. We refer business, there is no BVA team, we are collaborators.

How we differ from traditional courses. BVA is hands-on, invested, and present in your growth and success as a business owner. We understand the daunting realities of starting your own business and maintaining it, so it is important to us that we tailor each session in a way that fits you personally and will help leverage your career. 

The Virtual Assistant industry is an extremely successful and competitive business. In fact, over 1.8 billion businesses today are using VA services in some capacity; this is why honing in on your niche is so important. Because there are so many people in the VA industry, it is necessary to KNOW your contribution and your worth, and be confident in your abilities as a business person!
