Today’s Small Business Saturday! I’m grateful to welcome my new subscribers as well as folks who have shown interest in my creative journey over the years and who have stuck with me. My heartfelt thanks to every angel who has ordered from my shop.

Wild Honey Words is an artist-operated, sustainability-conscious, Black-owned boutique that runs on womanpower, love, and Southern California sunshine. Being a maker and sharing what comes through me calls for countless hours of soul work, studio time, learning, seed planting—and of course, space to create, groceries, gas, and grace. Your support literally fuels me.

With Wild Honey’s one-year anniversary coming up in December, I know I couldn’t have made it this far without my incredible community, and I couldn’t keep going without your faith in me in action. This, too, is where the magic happens. (Btw, I just fell in love again watching this Instagram reel by the inimitable Maurice Harris of Bloom & Plume on the power of supporting small businesses.)

A little love goes a long way…
