The Mediocre Black Woman

A spiritual house for Black women healing the fear of being truly seen—remembering our humanity has always been our divinity. The Mediocre Black Woman began as a rebellion against perfection and performance. What started as a whispered permission slip has evolved into a spiritual home for Black women who long to rest, soften, unmask, and return to themselves without apology or performance.

This house carries the sacred medicine of Chiron in Leo in the fifth house in retrograde —the wound of being unseen, dimmed, or undervalued, healed through gentle self-expression, truth-telling, and the courage to let your real self be enough. Here, we heal the fear of being seen by first daring to see ourselves.

We heal, we cackle, we cry, we channel, we rest. We sit in the honesty of our becoming. We release the “shoulds,” the striving, the exceptionalism. And we remember that what makes us human is what makes us divine.
