About the Book
Alecia Renece, a Black Girl Creative in Recovery, writes a love letter to all Black Women Creators, Makers and Dreamers.
Have you lost your creative spark as a Black Woman Creative?
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 is sacred. It’s a gift from your Creator to enjoy, to heal, commune and share with others.
Our mission here at Black Girl Creative is to help you to recover and reclaim those dreams, and to empower you to continue to create, dream 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 the spirit, soul and body of ourselves and others.
Our ancestor’s art, creativity, innovation and dreams were weaponized against them, stolen from them and used to profit our captors. Living in fear was a means of survival, and in some ways we still are surviving.
Let’s journey through Fear together into Courage. Let’s learn to dream big again and to 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!
