Here's the story of a Black Girl with a little black book. One late winter day, Jade was sitting on a family member's couch, thinking of how life could be better for her. Jade was already homeless and living with a family member was a very uncomfortable situation for her. She loved her family and they were very much help but Jade needed her own space. Jade was a very strong, independent young woman, she just couldn't find her way. Times were passing and Jade just needed a lil extra boost, she kept wondering where is my blockage coming from, why I can't think of the creative things I once thought before. So One evening Jade asked one her family members to take her to the store, Jade didn't know what she going to the store for, she just needed to get out of the house. Indeed Jade went to the store. Inside the Store Jade was just roaming to see if she could think of new ideas. Jade thought to herself, " I can start with pen and paper", So she found a isle full of sources, different notebooks, different pens, different reading books. Jade was walking and searching, she was so amazed by the different things she seen, that's when she said herself "I have to find the perfect notebook, so many colors and sizes." Jade didn't have much money so she couldn't just buy herself nice things or the things she really wanted. So she stumbled across this little black book, small enough for her and it didn't cost as much as the other books. She also bought herself one pen. Jade was excited, she had just made her first steps into creating new ideas. Jade and her family member went back to the shared home. Jade rushed out the car to go write in her new book. There was a lot of people in the home so, Jade had to wait while everyone was sleep to start brainstorming. As soon as everyone was sleep Jade took her little black book and pen, and went outside. Just as Jade picked up the pen to begin writing, her and hand fingers just went to work. She started writing down everything, from her now house to her new car to her new life, everything just came to her senses. It's like her hands just wrote the book for her. She couldn't believe her eyes, she had filled up the whole notebook within that one night. From that point on everything Jade wrote in the book begin to happen. She was blessed with a new home, a new car, and even started her own family, she followed her career pursuits, she was very successful and was able to take care of her whole family. Jade was so thankful for the little black book, she went and started a business for little girls and young women to begin pursuing their lives with little black books.
