Mya D. Specialist
We design guided journals that celebrate the strength, resilience, and beauty of Black women.

Project Description
The Inspire Journal Collection empowers black women to practice self-love, mindfulness, and intentional goal-setting with our beautiful culturally resonant guided journals.
Here’s the problem: Black women are more likely to suffer from financial stress, depression, auto immune disease and more due to a lack of access to quality tools and services. And that’s because the intersections of race and gender leave black women predisposed to health and financial inequalities that directly affect our emotional and mental health. And while there are wellness brands out there with general personal growth journals, very few brands specifically target Black women with designs and content that resonates with us culturally. So we ,Black women often feel underrepresented in the wellness and personal development market.
The solution: Because we know that black women are more likely to be head of the household but also are earning less, we offer premium journals at a low price without forfeiting the quality. After all, journaling has been proven to be a low cost therapeutic tool that increases emotional and mental well being. The Inspire Collection is poised to fill an underserved niche in the self-care and personal growth market by offering culturally relevant, empowering guided journals for Black women.

The SoloPrenuer: I am Mya Dixon Ajanku, artist, educator, avid journaler, and founder of Mya D. Specialist; where I design guided journals that celebrate the strength, resilience, and beauty of Black women. I am raising funds to turn this passion project into a sustainable small business. I am currently a SoloPrenuer and funds will be used so secure support to improve product design & development, and secure inventory of our “ Inspired” guided journal collection.

The Inspired Journal Collection is inspired by my academic research on movement and writing as tools for healing and therapy. As well as my lived experience as an avid journaler. We understand that while growth is personal, a supportive community is vital and therefore we partner with Black-owned and minority owned bookstores, wellness boutiques, and cultural centers in areas with high Black populations. We value authenticity, empowerment, self-care and community as fundamental to well-being and success.
We would like to thank everyone that participates. Your pre-order of our” Relaxed and Productive” journal supports the growth of our Inspire Collection allowing us to help Black women navigate our unique experiences, celebrate our strengths, and cultivate mental and emotional well-being.
Take Care.
