In 2019, I wished to commit to deeper self-accountability & better organization. The planners on the market were problematic! Too white & cutesy, or the pushy “man” planners, low-key toxic.

Podcast interview: this unique book highlights Black and other American Women of Color in history, notably the lesser-known she-roes, whose stories will energize and inspire users of all ages. Centering Black and other Women of Color but welcoming all, this is a lovingly created, colorful, and inspirational planner/journal with quotes, prompts, coloring pages, and commemorations to get womxn across cultures in a reflective, energized, and creative mood month after month through the year to come
I reflect on how the first two years of the Project have changed people's lives, ways to use the Journal, and more satisfactions.
Such positive press coverage of the debut, 2021 edition of the Brave Sis Journey-Journal was very encouraging. History lessons for Black women, BIPOC women, racial justice allies and DEI champions! Celebrate influential women who changed the world.
Words of encouragement and inspiration for young women — Brave Sis Journey-Journal is Your Book, for your Personal Journey... From the pragmatic to the personal to your own place in history!

A personal tribute to the women who inspired Brave Sis Project: my ancestors.
