Welcome to The Black Mérida Experience

Mérida’s First Black-Led Community

A movement rooted in liberation and built entirely outside the framework of oppression.

Step into a place where Black culture is celebrated, traditions are shared, and new beginnings feel more like home than home ever did. This is more than community—it’s you finally experiencing belonging, peace, and freedom, maybe for the first time. Come for a season or stay for a lifetime—either way, you’ll breathe easier here. Mérida doesn’t just say “welcome”—it offers what so many of us have been missing:..

  • In local markets, you’ll find organic food that nourishes instead of harms.
  • On playgrounds, kids run freely, safely laughing long past sunset.
  • In neighborhoods, the police don’t threaten—they wave hello.
  • Here, $800 mortgages still exist, ending the relentless rat race.

Belonging isn’t a guest pass—it’s finally living as though you, your health, your family, and your peace truly matter. You’ll witness friendships forming, heritage celebrated, and a sense of connection deeper than many of us ever thought possible. By sharing traditions—ours alongside those of Mexico—we embody values like family-first living, deep respect, and collective healing.
