Summer mornings are not for scrolling.

They're for the smoothie, the silence,
The 15 minutes before the world asks anything of her.

Self-care doesn't pause for the season.
It adapts to it.

✦ For women who protect their mornings, even in July, the colouring book is available for sale. Link in bio.

July. She's already glowing.

New month. Same standard.
Lighter fabric. Same posture.

She didn't wait for summer to feel like this.
She was already in season.

She's not difficult. She's premium. 🖤

The calls she doesn't return.
The rooms she doesn't enter.
The energy she doesn't match.

None of it is personal.
All of it is intentional.

✦ What did she stop tolerating this month?

The week doesn't happen to her. 🖤

She writes it down before it begins.
Every intention. Every boundary. Every standard.

That's not planning.
That's power.

✦ For women who architect their weeks, not survive them.

She didn't browse. She chose.

The peonies were non-negotiable.
Everything else — optional.

That's how she moves through the world.
Selective. Intentional. Never settling.

Sunday is not a day off from the standard. 🕯️

She lights the candle.
Opens the guide.
Sets the tone for the week before the week sets it for her.

Self-care is not a reward.
It's the foundation.

It has been a while since I last introduced myself

It has been a while since I last introduced myself! So, I wanted to stop by your feed, say hello, and thank you for your support.
My name is Doria. I am a French illustrator based in London, and yes—I am 43, even if my skincare routine begs to differ!
My journey started back in 2009 when I created a comic character called MissBB for my beauty blog dedicated to Black women.
The core of my work has always been about representation. I create because our stories, our beauty, and our voices deserve to be celebrated beautifully and authentically. My art is where Amara, Afropolitan culture, and Parisian chic meet.
Beyond my personal projects, I love bringing your visions to life through custom illustrations and bespoke book covers.
🎨 Want to bring a piece of this world home?
My shop is officially open! You can find my collection of:
* Greeting cards & vibrant art prints
* Wellness guides & mindful colouring books
* My original comic books
Shipping worldwide.
If my art speaks to you, please share this post, tag a friend, or save it for later! Every share helps an independent artist grow.
Head over to the link in my bio to explore the shop. Thank you for being here! x

Her Saturday is not your Saturday. No notifications before 10. No meetings. No explanations. Just light. Tea. Pages. The slow morning isn't a treat. It's the foundation.

The room fills up eventually.
She arrives before it does. 🥂🖤
One table. One glass. No audience required.

Sunday is not a performance.
It's a reset.
No agenda. No notifications. No explaining.
Just her. The matcha. The silence she chose.

The meeting could have been an email.
The email could have been silence.
The silence? That's hers. 🖤
Amara closed the laptop at 5.
Not because she was done.
Because she was expensive.
Overworked and underpaid is not in her contract.

A moment just for you 🤍

In the middle of a busy life, we often forget to slow down, breathe, and listen to ourselves. This wellness guide is here to help you reset, reconnect, and take care of your mind, body, and energy.

Taking care of yourself is not a luxury. It’s a necessity.
