Blaq Butterfly — Founder, The Circle of Becoming

Blaq Butterfly was born from my memoir-in-the-making, Unchained Butterfly, a story of navigating abandonment, heartbreak, trials, and transformation while holding onto hope, faith, and the desire to become. From that journey came The Circle of Becoming, a space where I share real-life moments, lessons, and inspiration for women finding their way through their own becoming. I’m still becoming, too. And whenever passion moves me, so does my desire to share another learning experience that may help another woman along the way.

  • Daily Routine for Moms: Why One Page Beats a Full Planner

    Becoming a mother later in life gave me something I didn’t have the wisdom to appreciate at first — a foundation.
