Thank you so much for reading 🧡 Sheer Creativity is a free newsletter about a Black female creative seeking to understand the world. I write about a range of topics under the umbrella of creativity, society & culture, and my life lessons. Here are all the posts I’ve written this year.

The stars below indicate the posts with the highest views or engagement, but truthfully, I’m just glad you’re here. I’m glad you’re taking a chance on this content and that many of you have enjoyed the work I have created. 2023 has presented many highs and many lows, and this December has been a low point, but knowing my work lands in a good space to great people brings me joy and excitement about 2024.
