If you’ve been following my Instagram stories, you’ll know just how busy I’ve been these past 3 weeks and, trust me, it’s only going to get more insane. 3 destinations in Turkey in 8 days, followed by 36 hours in Mexico to change my clothes and have have a mango, immediately followed by 8 days on the Florida pan handle for another press trip. Gorgeous and riveting as these press trips have been, there’s no way that I can keep up with the demands of this newsletter in the way that I have previously structured it so…I’m making a few changes that I think everyone might appreciate :)
Here are the new house rule, my daring and dastardly readers:
The free newsletter will only be sent every other week, starting today. That means that every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month you will have a free newsletter in your inboxes.
The free newsletter will focus on promoting Black woman owned businesses and entertainment, primarily dissecting current and trending TV shows and movies.
All of my requests for features in upcoming editorial pieces I’m working on will be sent out on the free and paid newsletter. What’s the difference? If I’m looking to feature someone quickly and it happens to be the 2nd week of the month then if someone reaches out from the paid newsletter first, they’ll have quicker access to me. I’ll still post about it on the free newsletter but you will find out about it a week later (in this hypothetical situation).
Free subscribers will no longer get tester emails for the paid subscription. Though I will probably briefly write about what I mentioned in the paid newsletter at some points, I want to make sure that the people who get the paid newsletter actually want to get it and aren’t forced to get it.
If you feel strongly about this, one way or the other, please let me know. I’m curious about your thoughts on this, especially after you read what the paid newsletter will entail.
The paid newsletter will be sent out on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month.
To clarify, all paid subscribers will have access to both the free and the paid newsletters, and so, will be getting one newsletter per week (4 per month). All free subscribers will only be getting one newsletter every other week (2 per month).
The paid newsletter will house all of my travel content (pictures, recommendations, wild stories (like how I was accidentally mildly waterboarded in a hammam in Turkey…I promise it’s way funnier than it sounds!), and more.
If you have any travel related questions, I’ll only be answering them in the paid newsletter (and sometimes in my IG comments).
I think that’s everything for now. I have an OBSCENE amount of writing to do which is way these changes are coming sooner rather than later (AKA now) so if you have any questions, drop them below :)
In the meantime, I’ll be binge watching Selling Sunset Season 6 because watching white lady mayhem is my skincare routine.
Until next time, my dearests!!
