For years, I believed I was “too much” and “too difficult” to befriend. I know the exhaustion of masking; rehearsing laughs, rewriting texts, and how that burden doubles when navigating stereotypes as a Black woman. When the burnout hits, the guilt convinces you that isolation is the only safe option. I’ve been there. I learned that the loving, safe friendships I longed for were waiting on the other side of setting boundaries and unapologetically being myself. No, it's not all in your head. I created this space to help you find your people, trade the performance for true connection, and build friendships that finally feel like home.
