Listen, sis. We know life can be a lot. Between work, family, and everything else pulling at your energy, it’s easy to forget about the joy that’s meant for you. And I get it, sometimes it feels like that joy is being postponed, like there’s always something else more urgent, more important. Responsibilities.
It's interesting, responsibilities will always be there and we feel a sense of obligation towards them. But are you on the list of responsibilities? If not, you should be. At the top next to the number 1.
I know, I know, you have it under control, this responsibility to yourself. You get your nails done, your hair did and you will dab on some makeup / or cleanse your skin in the morning before work. We call all of this "self-care", right?
But is that enough? What about soul care? You know that maintenance that often goes overlooked. Some of us turn to God for soul care and that's enough for us. Or we do yoga and feel like that's sufficient. But what about joy? Do you have a responsibility to yourself to infuse joy into your life?
Of course, you do. But do any of those things bring about joy? Remember, you said (or maybe you didn't say but I sure did) that those were responsibilities. Do responsibilities equal joy or is joy optional?
Let me share a lil something about joy. Joy is my homegirl. We patty cake in the summer and dance in the moonlight under stars. We clink glasses when we're celebrating and we go shopping for art supplies. Joy is a dope chick. She is like a statement piece to a fancy outfit, you need her to make that thang thang. And although I've described her in a way that makes you think she's an option, Joy is a necessity, not an accessory or a luxury.
And if you want me to introduce you to her, I can. But here's the deal: wanting joy in your life, starts with you, right where you are, right in this very moment. Reclaiming joy isn’t about some quick fix or magic pill. It’s about slowing down, creating space for yourself, and making the choice to give your inner child what she’s been needing all along: freedom, fun, and a little bit of magic.
That’s what Black Girl Unicorn Slim is all about. It’s not just a travel coloring book; it’s a place for you to pause, breathe, and re-center yourself. The kind of space where your joy is the most important thing in the room.

The Power of the Unicorn
Unicorns represent something bigger than just a mythical creature. In the dakari Moon universe, the unicorn represents the unique, unrepeatable magic that every Black woman carries within—an energy that is radiant, limitless, and completely her own. With her shimmering horn and ethereal presence, she walks through life with an innate understanding that she is here to blaze her own trail.
Unicorns don’t follow trends—they create them. They are visionaries, bold dreamers who exist in spaces where others may hesitate, inspiring those around them to embrace their own uniqueness. Their power doesn’t need to roar; it hums quietly, but with a presence that can’t be overlooked, drawing people in with their authenticity.
I created Black Girl Unicorn Slim for you, the woman who’s finally saying, "I’m putting myself first." It’s for you to color your way back to your magic. Every stroke is a little piece of your soul being restored. And that’s how this book works—it brings you back to your power, one color at a time.
Coloring as Healing
What makes coloring so powerful? It’s not just about filling in the lines—it’s about creating spaces to breathe. When we sit down to color, we’re not just working on a page, we’re working on ourselves. We’re carving out time to heal, to reflect, to process, and to nurture.
The act of coloring, especially in a book that reflects your culture, your identity, and your joy, is an act of self-love. It’s you saying to yourself, “I’m worth this time. I’m worth this space.”
So here’s my invitation to you: take your time with Black Girl Unicorn Slim. Let the magic of the unicorns bring you back to yourself. If you need to let go of the stress and the overwhelm for a moment, this is the space to do it.
You don’t have to rush. Pull out your color pencils, your gel pens, your glitter. Color at your own pace. Let it remind you that joy is still yours to claim.
