My Story
Sisterhood(verb) was born from a little girl who longed for community with other Black girls but didn’t know where—or how—to find it. Everywhere I looked, I encountered suspicion and competition. When tragedy struck the Black community, I was welcomed to mourn, yet afterward, I was once again shown the door. I didn’t understand it.
Through my own creative healing journey, I discovered a community of Black women and was able to co-create a safe space to fully embrace my womanhood and Blackness. I realized I was not alone. Sisterhood(verb) is a space that echoes the acceptance, care, growth, and joy I found—a creative, nurturing place where we are accepted as we are, as we create and celebrate who we want to be and the lives we want to live. I intend to help other women find their village before they need one and have nowhere to look.
Now, as a mother and wife, I am even more driven to share my story and curate spaces for celebratory creativity that heal, uplift, and inspire. We all deserve this—authentic connection, joy, and the freedom to thrive.
