Monday Lunch just got a WHOLE lot better!

Welcome to your NEW favorite email.

Welcome to Monday Lunch by me, Jemia.

Who Am I?

wife. unapologetically Black. creative. writer. diversity practitioner. social media strategist. alpha woman 💗💚. creator + founder of @blackwifelife

What is this about?

I’ve been a writer for years. Always loved putting pen to paper, well actually, in high school I had an e-journal before they even existed. I typed my thoughts, rants, and raves via WordPerfect (how many people just went back down memory lane?).

In 2018 I finally started blogging and my tribe rallied around and supported me. I did love it, but I still felt a little restricted. I was working for a company that was hella nosey. Like they were all UP in your business. And that was cool when I was in my mid-20’s, but baby, I tried to create separation once I got grown-ish, I still feel like I can’t say grown-grown yet, but they always seem to find me. So I still censored myself, a little bit.

But now, the real and authentic Jemia is here in my newsletter. No more censorship, no more tip-toeing, no nothing but just me.

An email is a little more personal than a blog post, and I feel like I can go there knowing this reaches your inbox and is not showing up in a rando Google search. Plus, I’m tired of telling y’all to click the link in my bio to read my blog. So I am throwing in the TILE! Cause the majority of y’all wasn’t listening anyway.

Ok, so what are you going to talk about?

Pretty much everything. But here is a highlight reel.

• I got laid off, and I am a brand new entrepreneur

• I moved to a state I’ve never lived in before

• Trending topics and Twitter threads

• Random stories

• Black AF

• 90s and early 00s nostalgia

• I run an IG account with almost 90K followers, I might drop some social media tips/tricks

• Things I’m into

• + whatever the hell else I feel like talking about.

Disclaimer: This newsletter will contain adult language occasionally. I will talk about race, I will talk about white privilege, and I will talk about how BLACK BEEN KING! Diversity & Inclusion is my day job, so I know how to finesse certain topics/discussions. I’m not here to talk down on anyone or any group of people, I’m just shooting you straight, #nofilter.

OK, Boom.

Sign up now so you don’t miss the first issue. Dropping on the 1st and 3rd Monday’s @ 11:30a ET every month!

West coasters, this is more like Monday Breakfast for you, but hey, you get it.

In the meantime, tell your friends!
