To the Black girl heading into this semester—we made this one for you.

🤍 The syllabus is set. The schedule is packed. And somewhere between all of it—we need you to remember to carry yourself with care. Not just with ambition. Not just with your GPA in mind. With softness. With boundaries. With the knowledge that your mental health is not something you tend to after everything else gets done. Swipe through. Save. and come back to when the days get hard. There's bound to be some and we'll be right here waiting for you 🫶🏽. Tag your campus girl. She needs this reminder too.
