Black Bonnet Girls is a reflective, journal-style blog and storytelling space rooted in honesty, softness, and growth. It’s for the feelers, the overthinkers, and the late bloomers navigating womanhood, identity, and healing—especially through a Black, feminine lens.

This space is for the Black girls. The introverts. The quiet thinkers. The feelers. The ones who’ve ever been silenced, overlooked, suppressed, or made to feel too much. If you’ve ever felt caught between who you’ve been and who you’re becoming, you belong here.

Whether you're navigating your 20s, unlearning survival habits, or rediscovering your voice—welcome. This space was made with you in mind.

The bonnet is a symbol of softness, protection, and heritage—especially in Black womanhood. It cradles our curls, our dreams, and sometimes our tears. “Black Bonnet Girls” is a love letter to that sacred space, and to all the quiet beauty we carry and create.

New posts are shared monthly, sometimes more when inspiration strikes. I encourage readers to subscribe so you never miss a story or reflection.

Some are drawn directly from my lived experience. Others are fictional, but emotionally true. Every character I write, I hold close—like chosen family. Either way, every piece is written from the heart.

The Lessons from My 20s series are personal essays, and reflective journal-style entries that explore growth, love, healing, heartbreak, fear, and finding my voice are all true and personal.

I started this blog to create the kind of space I longed for: a space to speak, feel, imagine, and be. It’s where I could tell stories that matter to me and say the things I never said out loud. This blog is my offering—to myself and to others like me.
