Black Architects and Interior Designers Association (BAIDA) is a community organization made up of 100 students, planners, interior designers, and architects dedicated to supporting diversity, equity and inclusion in the profession of architecture through advocacy, mentorship, networking, and community engagement. In doing so, BAIDA can begin to address the issues of inequitable outcomes and a lack of diversity within the architecture and design industry. Our members are committed to impacting their cities through design, engagement and education and hope to minimize the effects of discrimination in communities and create opportunities for other minorities within the fields of architecture and design.
