The Forest of God's Answers
The parent company and what I mean when I say I am building.
The Forest of God's Answers is a holding company and a naming system. It's the roof over every business I am building, and it is the philosophy that keeps them related to each other.
I needed to stop limiting myself creatively, holding parts of myself back because I hadn't achieved success in other areas first. I needed to let my full self grow and fly, so I built a forest to hold it all.
Inside the forest are copses — groves of related businesses organized by what they do. Sunshine Moxie is the film and television copse. A Foremother's Brand is the retail copse. Black Town Square is the community copse. Each copse will eventually have its own dedicated spaces, its own audience, and its own branch letter — a dedicated newsletter for readers who want to go deeper on that specific world.
The mothership newsletter, From the Forest, is the view from above — one monthly letter from me, covering what I am building across all of it, planted on May 3, 2026.
Every copse is its own thing, an area for my creativity....they share a forest.
The Copses
Three groves, one forest.
Each copse holds multiple businesses, each with its own name and identity. The copse is the organizing principle and the businesses are where the work actually happens.

Copse · 02Building
A Foremother's Brand
Luxury retail and lifestyle, named for the women who built me.
This is the retail copse. Each brand inside it carries one of my foremother's names and holds her legacy inside the product. Luxury leather goods. Stationery for people who still write by hand. Accessories for book lovers. An event design company. A creative admin agency. Heirloom is the coming branch letter.

Copse · 03Dreaming
Black Town Square
Creative community, creative education, creative gathering, cultural retention.
The placemaking copse — home to the cultural festivals, co-working spaces, the artisan guild, classical arts academies, arts-and-tech centers, and The Community Apostles. This is where the forest touches the ground in every neighborhood it serves, teaching, learning about and protecting Black American culture. The Gathering is the coming branch letter.

The Mothership · Monthly · Planted May 3
From the Forest — one letter, the view from above.
A personal letter from me, once a month. What I'm writing, directing, building, and reading. Cultural commentary, behind-the-scenes updates across every copse, and the books, films, and people currently feeding the work. The mothership every branch letter flows out of.
No spam. Monthly. Unsubscribe anytime.
The Branch Letters
The newsletter family.
'From the Forest' is the mothership. As each copse matures, its own branch letter launches — a dedicated publication for the readers who want to go deeper on that specific world.
