I write greeting cards for all occasions and recipients. My areas of specialty include celebration, empowerment, cultural identity, Millennial, Gen Z, and LGBTQ+ voices.
mahogany’S Uplifted Collections
Uplifted celebrates the beauty of Black women and sisterhoods. Uplifted & Empowered honors the power and resilience of Black lives in the midst of injustice. Both of these collections use a conversational tone that particularly resonates with Black Millennial and Gen Z consumers. I’ve written thirteen cards for these collections. My favorites are below.
Inside Message: …the sort of gift that uplifts and carries the goodwill of sisterfriendship.
Thanking you for the gift of you.

Inside Message: We’re scared, angry, and for sure tired. On top of all of that, we’re still expected to step out into this world and function like everything’s okay.
But we have the right to feel how we feel — the right to cry, scream, shut the world out, and dream of something better. We have the right to be who we are in this moment and do what we gotta do to get through this. And we’re going to do it together.
Inside Message: I just love the way your Blackness shines and thrives in everything you do. From the way you keep it real to the way you hold it down for folks, you are the essence of strength, love, and Black Power.
Never forget how much you do, and never forget how much it matters.
Inside Message: You wear your melanin and your crown, and you own your resilience, your pride, and your love for your people.
Your Black is so beautiful.
Inside Message: You’re out here, embracing our history, our heritage, our melanin, and showing the world exactly what Black Excellence looks like.
Keep doing your thing!
Inside Message: No matter what we as a people faced, we remembered we are are and whose we are. We leaned on and trusted in the Lord, knowing that with Him we would overcome and we would be more than conquerors.
So stay strong and be encouraged—because faith is your inheritance.
Inside Message: Hope you know I'm always here to hear you out and hold you down whenever you need it—just like you'd be there for me.
You are never alone and always loved.
Inside Message: There's all kinds of mess in this world telling us not to embrace our Black joy, but we know better.
We stand out. We shine bright. We love every bit of who we are and embrace our joy always.
Inside Message: ...where moves are made and voices are heard.
Because in this place, we matter. In this place, we are safe, we are loved, and we are blessed…
because we have one another.

Celebrating you and all of your God-given wonderfulness!
Inside Message: Maybe it’s the gifts we shared as kids, the treats we indulged in, the decorations we hung, the music we sang along to. But I think it’s just the magic of being side by side through it all, knowing that our sisterhood will always be a promise of love between us, a gift with no expiration.
I love you sis, all day, every day, and at Christmas I just wanted to let you know.
Inside Message: Until then, just know I’m thinking about you and wishing we could celebrate together.
Inside Message: You made sure I was doing right by others and myself, kept it 100 with me in every situation, and always kept love present and active in my life, even now. Thank you for everything, Dad.
Happy Father’s Day.
Inside Message: It’s got a little bit of everything — dance hits, slow jams, and a whole lot of soul.
But when I think about all the times we’ve shared together, our love sounds like my favorite old-school tune…the type of song no one can live without.
Happy Valentine’s Day
