Welcome to Black Lotus Kinship

Exploring the Radical Idea of Black Femme Liberation

Welcome to Black Lotus Kinship! This is a space dedicated to the collective growth, liberation, and empowerment of Black femmes.

Hey friends! I’m Tamika, a passionate advocate for the wellness and well-being of those who live a Black existence in a world that often tries to diminish our worth. Over the past few years, I’ve been on a journey to find a true sense of belonging and community. Yet, I kept noticing a gap—a lack of spaces where Black women can support each other’s growth in a way that doesn’t feel elitist or confined to a specific profession or lifestyle.

Black Lotus Kinship was born out of my desire to change that. My mission is to help individuals create a community they can truly be proud of. I envision a space where Black femmes from all walks of life can come together to share meaningful conversations, learn from each other, uplift one another, and redefine what success means for us. I want us to move beyond the relentless “hustle and grind” culture. Instead, let’s measure success not by our proximity to capitalism, but by the resources and support we cultivate within our communities.

Together, we’ll dive into themes like building community, redefining success, practicing ethical self-care, understanding societal influences, and everything in between.

I plan to share with you once a week, likely on Tuesdays. Whether it’s a personal story, thought-provoking questions that could use your insight, op-eds from guest writers, or reflections on current events, I want this blog to be a conversation—a space where your voice is just as important as mine. So, share your thoughts in the comments, spread the word on social media, talk about Black Lotus Kinship with your friends, and reach out if you’d like to contribute as a guest writer. And of course, don’t forget to subscribe!

Thank you for joining me on this journey. I can’t wait to hear from you!
