What you'll achieve in this book
Experience
You’ll walk through stories that feel like your own moments of silence, of shame, of strength and begin to see them differently. MAHOGANY offers an experience of reflection and release. It gives you permission to feel, to remember, and to begin again this time with compassion.
Motivation
You’ll feel the urgency to break the cycle not just for yourself, but for those who come after you. This book stirs something deep: a desire to unlearn the lies we inherited, to speak the truth even when it trembles, and to create a different path forward beginning at home.
Vision
You’ll gain a new vision of beauty one that begins at the root. Not filtered through comparison or complexion, but grounded in legacy. You’ll begin to imagine a world where every child grows up seeing themselves reflected in love, and every woman carries her story with pride instead of apology.
Goals
The goal is healing. Not a quick fix a deeper restoration. MAHOGANY is here to help you reclaim your beauty, honor your skin, and rewrite the story. It’s an invitation to stand in your full humanity and pass on a legacy that’s no longer shaped by erasure but by love.

I’ve been carrying this story for a long time. It’s not just mine; it belongs to so many women who have felt invisible in their own skin. And yet, I also know that lighter-skinned Black women carry their own burdens, assumptions, stereotypes, isolation, and the pressure to fit into molds they didn’t choose. This book isn’t about comparison. It’s not about blame. It’s about truth. It’s about healing. It’s about creating space for all of us to be seen. I named this book Mahogany for a reason. Mahogany is rich, deep, layered; it’s strong and stunning in its complexity. Just like us. The title honors brown-skinned women who have felt pushed aside, uncelebrated, or misunderstood. But it also invites all women of color no matter where they fall on the spectrum to reflect, connect, and rise.

This book is a call back to sisterhood. A return to ourselves. It’s a space where brown-skinned girls can finally exhale and say, “You see me.” It’s a space where light-skinned women can say, “I’m more than what you think I am.” And it’s a place where we can all begin to understand each other without shame, guilt, or resentment. We’ve all been hurt by colorism. But we can also be the ones to heal it.
