Hey You!
So happy youâre here. Some of you may have been subscribers to my previous newsletter and some of you may be new. Regardless, I am so happy youâre here for the new edition that will exist as âgirl, a wordâ.
I am so happy to be back writing again. I didnât realize how much I enjoyed writing until I wasnât. 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 canât 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 âgirl, a wordâ.
So what exactly is âa wordâ ? đ¤
a word is something after you read it or hear it, you feel something inside of you, youâre instantly moved and that little voice inside of you simply says, âyes!â. It inspires, and motivates, but most importantly, itâs that thing you didnât know you needed to hear.
This is an oldie, but goodie - girlfriend in this GIF felt whatever word Tyra gave deep in her soulâŚ
So, what can you expect? đ
Youâll be hearing from more than just me this go round. In order to continuously provide "a (consistent) wordâ, my girl Bee is joining me. (more from Bee, soon but for now, hereâs 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 weâre feeling really spicy we might drop something in between.
Our threads will consist of us posing a question or topic and youâll be able to engage with the rest of the community in a dialogue right on this platform.
Special Guests. Weâll 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, thatâs all for now! Wanted to keep things short + sweet as we will be right back in your inbox later this week.
With love,
SydâĄď¸
