Introvert Petals Newsletter

A Little background ...

​

First, this newsletter, Introvert Petals, is an extension of ​The Happy Wallflower​ blog.

​

I started The Happy Wallflower because I was tired of having to explain myself to extroverts all the time. Quiet contemplation and meaningful conversation are not what the cool kids are doing. 😂 And being naturally quiet in a loud world is often perceived as weird.

​

Yes, being an introvert when extroversion is the culturally dominant personality is certainly a challenge. But being a black woman and an introvert is even more so.

​

Society already places expectations and stigmas on women of color. For instance, we’re always supposed to be superwomen, sassy verbal ninjas, and everybody’s mother. Exhausting, right!?

​

Well, my quiet friend, we deserve a space where we can be our quiet selves unashamedly and unapologetically.

​

I created The Happy Wallflower to be just that space. A space where black women introverts can learn about themselves, have a good laugh, and find encouragement for living a quiet life in a loud world.

​

There are other introvert blogs but none focused exclusively on Black women.

​
​I started Introvert Petals to have a more personal connection with the folks reading the blog.
