🌸 About Carefree
Black girls are constantly portrayed to be anything but magical, beautiful, and whimsical—we’re here to change that.
When do Black women get to just be?
That’s the question I asked myself that inspired Carefree.
When does the world get to see us for who we truly are—and when do we get to revel in all our flaws, show our scars, and strip ourselves bare?
We all want to be excellent, but Black excellence isn’t the only form of Blackness that deserves to be celebrated.
This is Carefree.
We believe in the power of storytelling and its ability to heal. No more “Top 10” lists or “How to Get a Man” advice. No chasing trends. No trying to fit into boxes.
Our mission is simple: to tell the in-between stories from across the diaspora—in all their shapes, textures, and truths.
Every week, we slow down the content cycle and share one new story from a Black woman writer around the globe. Sometimes it’s a confession, sometimes it’s a love letter, and sometimes it’s a quiet moment of joy. Each one is a reminder that our everyday lives are worth documenting.

🌺 Coming Soon: Black Women in Bloom
We’re expanding beyond the screen with our first coffee table book, Black Women in Bloom, coming soon.
