The Black Peppa Press

Hey y’all. It’s been a Mississippi minute since our last chat. Or maybe it’s just me and I’m really missing P-Valley, lol. I believe they are renewed for a third season, but this blog post is not about that today.  I just wanted to share a life update that I think would benefit this community. I shared a new job, but the nature of the job is not new for me at all. It is everything I love in one. Mentoring BIPOC youth, create, and share information that can help our community thrift. That’s it. I’m a simple girl. But...

I have been upgrading my fall closet, but one staple remains the same… my t-shirts must come hard with that political message.  My graphic tee should clearly communicate who I am and what I believe in.

You are usually communicating with your followers and potential customers...

What’s up y’all? Thank you for keeping up with our latest blog content. It was inspired by our next book club read which I need to be clear about. Our book club will only feature Black women writers, that is my commitment and vibe. In the age with so many attacks on BIPOC and LGBTQ authors on censorship, I commit to always using my platform to uplift Black women writers who are often challenged for just speaking the According to the American Library Association, ALA  has “reported 729 attempts to censor library resources, targeting 1,597 books, which represented the highest...

Waistbeads belong to an ancient West African culture who believes that the womb is sacred and should be spiritually protected and adorned. Traditionally, waistbeads are given during a young woman’s rites of passage as she transitions from girlhood to womanhood. Waistbeads can also be given to a woman trying to conceive children or grieving some from some sort of womb trauma. Though this tradition started in Africa, it has traveled to the Americas and become popular medicine for people throughout the world. They have transcended race and gender, as I have sold waistbeads to men and non African people. If...
