Some journals ask you to write. This one asks you to arrive.
Girl, Just Write: XOXO Edition is a 60-page, 7-day guided journal experience designed for women of color who are in the middle of becoming: healing, growing, unlearning, and stepping into the fullness of who they were always meant to be.
This is not a generic self-help workbook.
Every page was written with you in mind, your history, your hair, your boundaries, your becoming. Each day includes a morning mantra, a personal written reflection, a daily quote, a daily song, an evening reflection, self-inventory scales, and a call to action because transformation doesn't happen in one moment. It happens in the daily decision to show up for yourself.
Seven days. Seven themes. One love letter, to you.
The 7-Day Journey
Day 1: Love as an Experience, Not an Emotion Because love was never meant to just be felt. It was meant to be lived.
Day 2: Expanding My Life Through New Places and New Experiences Step outside the familiar. Growth lives at the edge of your comfort zone.
Day 3: Setting Boundaries and Releasing the Need for Approval Your peace is not up for a vote. This day will remind you of that.
Day 4: More Than Hair, Self-Identity and Unconditional Confidence Your identity runs deeper than what the world sees first. Come home to yourself.
Day 5: The Story I Had to Release to Become Who I Am Every woman carries a narrative she didn't write. This is where you put it down.
Day 6: Nurturing Myself While Nurturing Others You cannot pour from empty. This day is your refill.
Day 7: When My Inner World Meets the Page The final love letter. The one you write to yourself.
What's Inside Each Day
- Morning Mantra — set the tone before the world gets loud
- Written Reflection by the Author — personal, honest, written for you
- Daily Quote — words that land differently when you're ready to receive them
- Daily Song — because some feelings need a soundtrack
- Evening Reflection — close the day with intention
- Self-Inventory Scales — track where you are, honestly
- Call to Action — because insight without action is just information

- You are a woman of color in an active season of growth or healing
- You have been putting yourself last and you're ready to stop

Meet The Girl Behind the Pen.
Shontrece Cherelle is a writer, author, and the heart behind Girl, Just Write. Her work centers storytelling, reflection, and emotional honesty, creating spaces where women can write freely, feel deeply, and return home to themselves one page at a time.
As a creative at heart, Shontrece believes that a pen is one of the most powerful tools a woman can pick up. She is the published author of Hey Luv and the creator of the Annual Week of Gratitude with Girl, Just Write, a celebration that invites women into intentional reflection and communal thankfulness.
Beyond the pen, Shontrece is the host of Café Conversations, a monthly meet-up in Richmond, VA where women gather to share rich dialogue, foster sisterhood, and build the kind of connection that reminds you that you are never alone in your journey.
Girl, Just Write is more than a brand. It is a community, a movement, and an ongoing love letter to every woman who has ever needed permission to tell her own story. Here, "there is no right or wrong way., just write".
