Hey Girl!

I’m JeeJee, the dreamer behind Girl Be You, and I'm so thrilled you've found your way to our cozy corner of the internet.

As a little girl with big dreams, I'd throw backyard parties for the kids on the block, and lose myself in captivating books, I always felt a bit like an outsider among the girls I grew up with.

From those childhood days to navigating the realms of non-profit and corporate life, my journey has been a lesson in shedding others' expectations and embracing every facet of my authentic self.

Girl Be You was born in 2016, a haven for Black women and girls to blossom through meaningful conversations and boundless inspiration. From each blog, weekly newsletter, our book club, podcasts, YouTube channel you can join and grow in the Girl Be You Community

Here, amidst these digital walls, we're more than a community—we're a reminder. With Every Step, Girl Be You!

Join the journey of self-love, empowerment, and sisterhood. Your unique story is a vital thread in the beautiful tapestry we're weaving together. Can't wait to grow, inspire, and shine with you!

I’m currently reading my 4th book of the month. If you are looking for a new book to read here are my thoughts on the best reading month I have had so far. While January was a great month, April has proved to be even better.

JeeJee’s April Reads Review

Grow & Glow is more than an event, it’s a community.

Each time to meet is curated as a safe haven for black women to be inspired through conversation, connection while building community.

Through intentional gatherings, soul-nourishing events, and real-talk moments, it is the goal for black women to grow in grace and glow in their truth.

Grow & Glow is a sacred space of sisterhood where healing is collective, and authenticity is our main priority

Let’s Grow & Glow together.
