Happy birthday to Lindsay, my partner in crime, therapist, unpaid emotional support human, and the only person who lets me curse her out and still answers the phone 😂🖤 Thank you for always holding space, offering gentle guidance when I need it most, and helping me build this beautiful GFC legacy together. Creating with you has been equal parts healing, hilarious, and powerful. Cheers to more growth, more laughs, and more taking over the world one idea at a time 🥂✨

Today is International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia. So many folks in our community face discrimination that further marginalized them. Here at Girlfriend Culture we welcome and accept everyone into our family, advocating for systemic changes that prioritize and protect our collective well-being.

Thursday night’s Sister Fire Chat was a reminder that Black motherhood is not one story — it is expansive, layered, sacred, exhausting, joyful, tender, and deeply transformative.

We gathered to celebrate mothers of many varieties: birth mothers, chosen mothers, aunties, community mothers, grieving mothers, future mothers, and the women who mother everyone around them with love and care. We honored the beauty, resilience, softness, wisdom, and magic of Black motherhood in all its forms.

As Lindsay Stewart writes in The Conjuring of America, “For as long as Black women have been in the United States of America, we have used our magic to battle the racism and sexism that plagues our lives. We have used our magic to identify and commune with one another and to build a world where we are valued and seen.” That spirit filled the room Thursday night.

Through conversation, poetry, laughter, vulnerability, and live art, we created space to witness the ways Black women continue to shape worlds through care, creativity, survival, and love. Black women’s magic has always existed in the practices that bring babies into this world, hold communities together, and help us imagine futures beyond survival.

In a world that asks Black women to carry so much, it felt powerful to pause and simply witness each other.

Thank you to every woman who shared her story, her presence, and her spirit with us. Sister Fire Chat continues to remind us that healing happens in community — and that Black women deserve spaces where we can be seen, held, and celebrated fully.

We hope all the women nurturing life, love, legacy, and liberation every single day had a happy and restorative Mother's Day!

This May Day we honor the Black women, named and unnamed, who sacrifice their peace to carry communities and movements on their backs, and who always advocate for the betterment of everyone within those spaces. We must do more than pay tribute to their resilience. The labor of Black women is exploited in the home and in the workplace. Change comes from structuring organizing efforts in a way that doesn't further exploit the labor of Black women.

Mental Health Awareness Month feels incomplete if we don’t tell the truth.
Black women are often expected to carry everything; families, communities, workplaces. All while quietly deprioritizing our own mental health. This is what “weathering” looks like–the cumulative toll of chronic stress from racism and systemic inequities that wears down Black women’s bodies and minds over time. It’s not just stress. It’s the impact of being unseen, unsupported, and asked to endure.
And safety? Too often, it feels out of reach.
If Black women can’t feel safe in their own homes,
if we’re questioned in parks,
if we’re navigating harm at work—
where are we meant to exhale?
Rest alone cannot solve systemic harm.
But rest does matter.
Community does matter.
Being held, seen, and protected does matter.
At Girlfriend Culture, we are dreaming of something different.
We are dreaming of spaces where Black women can gather and feel safe.
Where we are affirmed.
Where we are loved.
Where we are protected.
Where our nervous systems can soften because we are no longer bracing for harm.
Our dream is not just about surviving.
It’s about creating a world where Black women can finally feel at home—in our bodies, in our communities, and in each other.
