Hey You!

So happy you’re here. Some of you may have been subscribers to my previous newsletter and some of you may be new. Regardless, I am so happy you’re here for the new edition that will exist as ‘girl, a word’.

I am so happy to be back writing again. I didn’t realize how much I enjoyed writing until I wasn’t. Thank you to those who text, called, and continued to push me over the past two years to get back to it.

Consistency was the priority last time, but life happened something crazy. 🥴 Long story, short… I got myself into a relationship I 100% had no business being in. I can’t wait to get deeper into that in a later issue, but just know… as quickly as I got into it, I got myself out.

For now, let me do some house keeping so you know what to expect from “girl, a word”.

So what exactly is “a word” ? 🤔

a word is something after you read it or hear it, you feel something inside of you, you’re instantly moved and that little voice inside of you simply says, “yes!”. It inspires, and motivates, but most importantly, it’s that thing you didn’t know you needed to hear.

This is an oldie, but goodie - girlfriend in this GIF felt whatever word Tyra gave deep in her soul…

So, what can you expect? 👀

  • You’ll be hearing from more than just me this go round. In order to continuously provide "a (consistent) word”, my girl Bee is joining me. (more from Bee, soon but for now, here’s a face to match the name!)

  • Initially you can expect to hear from us 2-3x a week. We will drop our initial issue and then a thread later in the week, and if we’re feeling really spicy we might drop something in between.

  • Our threads will consist of us posing a question or topic and you’ll be able to engage with the rest of the community in a dialogue right on this platform.

  • Special Guests. We’ll also have special features from friends who can also provide a good word. Perspective is everything and being able to provide that from a number of different personalities is important.

  • Also, meet Victoria. Victoria is an absolutely brilliant senior at Duke University and will be supporting us in all things social.

Alright girlfriend, that’s all for now! Wanted to keep things short + sweet as we will be right back in your inbox later this week.

With love,

Syd⚡️
