(Updated) Embrace Quiet/Kind Of Boring Change

Hi Reader! Happy New Year! I decided not to rush January. Or January decided that for me, rather. And this newsletter is going to look very skim as a result because *There is supposed to be a video here but it's not sending so just know -- I tried to smile and wave at you to begin the new year but my newsletter provider doesn't want to let me be great! LOL! So forgive my brevity but... here's the remaining portion of the newsletter for this month and we'll be back steady by February! Instead of announcing a new year with declarations and spectacle, I’ve been paying attention to what’s actually happening in my body, my spirit, and my days. And what I keep noticing is this: real change is often quiet. This past year has been marked by discipline, repetition, and care that doesn’t photograph well. Less performance. More faithfulness. Less announcing. More becoming. I know many of you are in similar territory. You’re not chasing a version of yourself anymore. You’re tending one. And that kind of work needs containment, patience, and support. That’s the spirit behind all of my Dream With Me offerings. These containers are for people who know something is forming beneath the surface and want intentional accompaniment as they listen, discern, and move with integrity. Dream With Me Offerings3-Month Dream With Me Container 6-Month Dream With Me Container Year-Long Sovereignty Mentorship All Dream With Me work begins with a (free) consultation call, so we can discern together which container is the best fit for where you are right now. You can schedule a consult and learn more here: If you’re in a winter, I want you to know this: something is still growing. And you don’t have to tend it alone. In Grace & Steadiness, P.S. I am a monthly guest on Lurie Daniels Favors Sirius XM radio show - but I got to record an epic podcast with her to start off the year talking about "embracing our cultural power". You can listen to it on Apple Podcast HERE! |

Hi Reader. I didn't send you a single email in August or September, partially because I have been busy (I still ammmmm), but that's not the whoooole story. The whole story is that I have spent years trying to build every platform and do every single thing, and every time I spread myself that thin, I end up back at the same instruction my grandmother, Emma Jane Baxley, gave me in a meditation ten days before she transitioned. I'm still learning how to return and return and return to it. I just...

Sign up for updates on my forthcoming book, Real Soft Girl Shit: A Womanist Reclamation of Black Girl Vulnerability. Hi Reader, Three years ago, I put All the Black Girls Are Activists into the world. Tomorrow, July 28th, we’re gathering on my Patreon for the anniversary lecture and Q&A, and before we get there, I want to tell you what these three years have actually done to me. I feel quieter. Not smaller. Definitely not silent. Just… Quieter. I have less to prove, and that’s a very specific...
