WHO IS THE TRIBE GUIDE

The O.G. Grittie

I am a military raised brat who made her way down to Georgia as a youngin...picked up a strong appreciation for my African heritage in college...creating the cultured southern woman I am today.
I am a mother of two awesome dudes,
an avid reader, tattoo addict &
wanna be photographer.
​
My super power is living OUTLOUD & making genuine long-lasting connections.
I started blogging about the importance
of sister circles in 2012
& created products prompting that message.
Your biggest flex is to show up as YOU
and people feel that.
