Dear Black Girl Creative, Trust your creative process. follow your own intuition. I tried Julia Cameron's Morning Pages in The Artist's Way, and it no longer works for me.

Let's talk about it on this w...

Dear Black Girl Creative, Everyone won't like your art. This fact keeps so many of us creating. So afraid of rejections, we don't share, or we only share what we think people want to see, feel and experience. But what if people rejecting your art is not a bad thing?

Dear Black Girl Creative, you deserve better. you DO NOT attract who you are; stop gaslighting yourself. You DO NOT attract who you are. It really annoys me when people say this, because it's the ultimate gaslight. It is victim blaming to say that it is your fault that you're treated badly. However, we do entertain what we think we deserve. If folks are not respecting you, it's time to set boundar...
