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 embodied wisdom. We facilitate intimacy through collaborative meditation, process-based art, movement, play, and authentic expression.
Our workshops, reading circles, and community art projects welcome Black, Queer, Trans, Disabled, and Neurodivergent people—whether they live at these intersections or identify with just one.
Imani Noel Ford, the founder, lives at these intersections. Through ongoing grief, they’ve realized that their trans and neurodivergent identities are becoming increasingly salient. Acquired neurodivergence, ableism, and transphobia have shaped and expanded their perceptions of their blackness. Safe, designated spaces are vital, and all spaces will clearly reflect this by activating areas for 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 work matters, as does the community and context in which it’s facilitated.
Imani curates and facilitates experiences tailored to specific communities, focusing on collective embodiment that honors 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—give them deep insight and capacity to hold space for those with more structural power, recognizing that their own intersections provide unique perspective.

In Vibin’ High Wit Black Art, Imani Noel explores African diasporic fine and experimental art to foster cultural conversations, share information, and inspire emerging black artists like themselves, through experimental art criticism and interviews, from my perspective as a Black, trans-masculine, genderqueer femme for and by Black, queer, and trans communities.
The podcast of the same name is coming soon.
