Black Girl Creative: A Love Letter to Black Woman Creators, Makers & Dreamers

Your creativity is sacred. It’s a gift from your Creator to enjoy, to heal, commune and share with others.

This Love letter and manifesto is here to help you to recover and reclaim those dreams, and to empower you to continue to create.

What does it mean to be a creative Black woman?

We’re all recovering something we lost. Perhaps we lost our way, our identity, our dreams, our selves.

We’re all healing from something that was broken. Maybe our hearts were broken, our hopes, our spirit.

I believe as Black women we are inherently creative. We’ve been gifted with the ability to find our way back to the Truth, our way back to Healing, our way back to ourselves and our Creator through Creativity, Community, Storytelling and Healing.

Let's Start the journey back home.

What is Black Girl Creative?

Black Girl Creative is Giving Black women permission to Set themselves Free, Dream big, Live fully, Create authentically and Love themselves for who they truly are by

• Inviting Black women to play, experiment and co-create

• Guiding Black women through self recovery to self kindness and self-love

• Empowering Black women to live a joy-filled and free life.

We’re all Creative… sometimes we just forget…

We were born with creativity and imagination surging through your being. We believed anything was possible… until we were told it wasn’t.

…maybe it was a child who made fun of you…

…a parent who didn’t approve of you…

…a loved one you saw fail and be ridiculed…

…friends who didn’t get you…

…someone told you that you needed a “real job”…

Somewhere along the way, we questioned the validity, importance and possibility of the dreams that light us up, keep us up at night… the ones we’re afraid to tell anybody about.

Your Creativity, Your Dreams, Your Self are all sacred.

They’re a gift from your Creator to enjoy, to heal, commune and share with others.

Let Me Help You Recover Those Dreams.

Our mission here at Black Girl Creative is to help you to recover and reclaim your dreams, and to empower you to continue to create, dream more and carry them out.

We believe in reclaiming and owning our God-given Creativity and Dreams. They are revolutionary tools that have the power to heal our own spirit, soul and body and those of others.

Let’s journey through Fear together into Courage. Let’s learn to dream big again and to put some action behind the dreams God gifted us. Let’s use these dreams for Him, ourselves, but also for the greater good of others.

Your dreams, creativity and ideas are not a bad thing. Black Girl Creative is here to help you!

Recover Yourself & Reclaim Your Dreams by…

Playing, going through self recovery, and empowering yourself to live a joy filled life.
