As a little girl, nothing felt more powerful than seeing girls who looked like me on the cover of books, or even inside a magazine. Representation mattered then, and today, our daughters need it more than ever.
Girlhood & Grace isn’t just about books for girls of color—it’s about helping mothers find their groove as they teach their daughters about faith, heritage, and purpose. This is a space for wisdom, tips, and how-to’s without wading through social media drama. It’s also a space where your daughters can discover ideas to help them flourish in faith and dream big.
Being a mom in this space isn’t always easy, and giving yourself grace is just as important as guiding your daughter. Here are a few tips:
See your daughter as a person, not just a child. Pre-teen years can be sensitive. When you recognize her as an individual, you can extend grace in ways you may not have experienced growing up.
Walk in kindness and love. Galatians 5:22 reminds us to live in the fruit of the Spirit. Our children aren’t exempt from God’s love—show them what it looks like in real life.
Teach wisdom through conversation. Offer solutions to her frustrations in a way that feels like guidance, not a lecture. Whether she’s 8 or 18, she’s a human being with feelings.
Today’s children face challenges we didn’t even have names for, including mental health struggles. Gentle parenting isn’t about avoiding discipline, it’s about disciplining with wisdom and grace.
To kick things off, I’m excited to introduce the Jazzy Jewelry Sessions, a fun and creative way for moms and daughters to spend quality time together on a Saturday. These sessions are all about bonding, creativity, and laughter, while giving your daughter an opportunity to express herself through jewelry-making and storytelling. Whether it’s trying new designs, sharing ideas, or just enjoying each other’s company, it’s a space to connect, create, and make memories that celebrate your relationship and her unique personality.
