Portraits of Power

A celebration of Black women, past and present, great and small.

We invite LEGO builders of all skill levels to participate in the Black Women Portraits of Power build challenge… an inaugural collaboration between BlackLUG and the Women’s Brick Initiative to inspire empathy, support intentional inclusivity, and empower mutual responsibility.

Your mission: Create a portrait of a Black woman — historical or contemporary, widely known or personally meaningful — using LEGO bricks. She can be someone who shaped history, someone in your community, or someone who has shaped you.

You’ll find three example builds for inspiration. When you’re ready, use the form to submit your entry.

Submission deadline: May 15, 2026.

Uplifting others uplifts us all.
