What are some womanhood-based books that you found helpful on your self-improvement, healing, feminine journey?

"You can tell a lot from a man's kiss. Like when he squeezes you so tightly that your ribcage creaks and groans in protest, but your heart will kill him if he stops. And when he devours your lips like he's starving to taste everything that you possess inside you. When he whispers your name like please and holds on to you in a way that makes you crave forever, you know that he loves you."

Don't judge a book by it's cover

I just found out that 1 of the books I loved to read as a child actually featured a black or brown main character. But whoever designed the book cover either automatically thought she was white or decided to make her white. WTF. It's a problem either way.

Artist Date W3: Thrifting

And the youtube channel is updated with a mini-adventure to the Thrift Sto'. Who doesn't love lewks for less?

I've always wanted to be a fashion designer and this makes me feel as creative as that life seems.

My wish for myself is that I learn to play with the world around me. That I lean into rest, recovery & finishing this book this Summer (finally!).

Woman of Color

By Latonya Yvette

It's been a long time since I've read a physical book to completion that I actually enjoyed page for page. "Woman of Color" was refreshing and kept me glued word for word. Latonya discusses what she's learned about motherhood, sisterhood, beauty, loss & resilience. The whole book is literally like sitting with your girls and talking about life and its changes/seasons.

My favorite parts revolved around style and beauty and most surprisingly motherhood and the transition into it. I also loved the interviews Latonya does with the black women in her life learning about their perspectives on beauty, style, loss, and so much more.

The interview excerpt that stuck out to me most was "Joy is your birthright. And anything that keeps you away from your joy is binding you from freedom" We have the choice to make our lives what we wish, we can enjoy our lives as we see fit, and we don't have to carry anyone's emotional baggage.. it's not ours to carry.
