About Us
Team Blackstar began in March 2014 when six African-American skydivers successfully completed a "star" formation skydive over Fitzgerald, GA. While African-Americans have long been a part of the skydiving community, the six friends felt the impulse to combine their love of skydiving with a desire to give back to their communities. Thus, Team Blackstar was born as a way to promote diversity within skydiving and strengthen ties with communities of color while highlighting charitable giving and community service. Along the way we've held three additional record jumps and grown from six to over 270 skydivers in six different countries! To learn more about the history of skydiving in Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+ communities check out our History Page.
