Black By God or BBG is an independent Black news and storytelling organization centering Black voices from the only state entirely in Appalachia - West Virginia.

The name "Black By God" comes from the phrase "West by God Virginia" that many who call West Virginia home use to define their home as distinct from Virginia. Where the "by God" lore began is unknown.

In 2021 the publication launched a series of political cartoons in support of the For The People Act featuring West Virginia's Democratic Senator Joe Manchin.

The cartoons were drawn by Shawn Alleyne and concepts were developed by Black By God's cartoon editorial board as facilitated by Founder/Publisher Crystal Good.
