The "Black Business Guide" Edition

Hey there, I’m still here. 

It’s just been a trash ass month. 

My brain shut down in early October.

My body started to give signs that it wasn’t far behind. I wasn’t able to write, engage with life or interact with others - it sucked. 

However, after two weeks of quiet my creativity came back. 

I finished a project that I’ve worked on for months - Vol. II and Vol. III of the Black Business Guide. 

One of the realizations I had while away was how much unfair pressure I’ve put on my writing. I write because I love it. If I’m able to sustain my life with my words one day, beautiful. But if not, I’ll continue to write - it’s who I am. 

For now, it’s time to use my creativity to create a new path. 

Because for real, I need to get the hell up outta Ohio - now more than ever. In a couple of days I’ll either face an increase in emboldened hate OR I’ll be on the receiving end of reactive outrage. 

Baby, we gotta go. 

But back to the Black Business Guides! 

I created a FREE mini guide that you can check out here.

You can purchase the guides ($27) on my Patreon here. (You can join too!)

The are over 450+ businesses that I’ve curated with love, intention and care.

If you subscribe as a Patron at any tier, you’ll receive free access to Vol III.

I’ll be back with posts next week - my brain still needs a tad more time to reboot. 

Be easy with your people. Check in on folks. Take care of each other.  

Sending gentleness to anyone who needs it today, see you soon. ❤️
