🖤 BLK MADONNA JOURNAL | June 28, 2025
“Even the visionary needs a moment to breathe.”
This morning, as the steam swirled in my shower and the scent of eucalyptus oil filled the air, I had a simple thought:
"What’s your shower routine?"
I nearly hopped on Facebook to ask you all—until my mind did what it always does: shift into full production mode.
And suddenly, the list hit me like steam on glass.
🔘 A July collab drop in less than 72 hours.
🔘 A feature blog post I haven’t written... and still need to send for approval.
🔘 Product descriptions waiting on me.
🔘 Media release forms still missing from the “New Faces of BLK MADONNA” contest winners.
🔘 And I haven’t even touched Fall/Winter prep.
Let’s not even mention the private invite-only event in August—guest list ready, concept clear, but execution pending. There are unreleased products needing labels, compliance, descriptions... and somewhere in the middle of that, I'm still curating campaigns the world will love.
Yes, I’m the designer.
Yes, I write every word.
Yes, I manage suppliers, handle compliance, determine pricing, and create labels by hand.
Because every detail you see with the BLK MADONNA logo on it came through me.
Oh, and did I mention—I still work a full-time job?
This isn’t just passion. It’s grind, grace, and grit.
And yet—after that mental avalanche—I didn’t rush to my laptop.
I didn’t scramble to check a box.
I grabbed my satin BLK MADONNA pajamas.
Slipped into our plush indoor slippers.
Wrapped up in our signature throw.
And waited patiently for my frozen watermelon margarita to hit just right.
Because even the woman behind the empire deserves to rest like royalty.
Today, I chose peace. I chose soft. I chose me.
Not because the work isn’t calling—trust me, it is.
But because self-care is the foundation of success, and this brand was built to honor that truth.
So no, I didn’t forget about you, my beautiful muses.
But wouldn’t you rather I lead by example?
Take care of yourself. Give yourself grace.
We’re building empires—but we’re human first.
With love, still lounging luxuriously,
— BLK MADONNA 🖤
