We’re inviting you to reflect on how you have experienced motherhood, mothering, or being mothered—whether or not you identify as a biological mother. This could include caring for others, being shaped by responsibility early in life, nurturing a community, creating safety where it didn’t exist or learning to re-parent yourself. It could include grief, longing, joy, rupture, devotion, ambivalence or transformation.

In your piece, consider reflecting on some of the questions below. You don’t need to answer them all — use what resonates:

  • Where did you first encounter mothering in your life? Who or what shaped that understanding?

  • In what ways have you acted as a mother, nurturer, protector, or guide — by choice or by circumstance?

  • How has motherhood, or the absence of it, changed your sense of self, purpose, or responsibility?

  • What have you learned about care, sacrifice, boundaries or love through this experience?

  • How do you define motherhood now, in your own words?

Your submission can be personal, reflective, narrative or essay-style. There is no “right” story here — only honest ones. We welcome tenderness, complexity and truth.

This series exists to honor the many ways we carry, give, receive and become mothers — to ourselves, to others and to the world.

Let’s talk about where we’re headed.]]>https://www.crwnmag.xyz/p/digest-you-already-knowhttps://www.crwnmag.xyz/p/digest-you-already-knowThu, 17 Jul 2025 04:40:52 GMTSince 2015, we’ve been documenting the beauty, brilliance, and boldness of Black women in print — building an archive that holds space for our truth. This piece on BLK MKT Vintage is one of many that reminds us: legacy isn’t something you look back on. It’s something you build, protect, and pass on. As we turn the page into a new chapter powered by our readers, we’re asking — will you help carry this work forward?

Soul Work, Real Work

BLK MKT Vintage isn’t just an antique shop — it’s a living archive of our legacy, powered by self-determination and protected by love. Founders Kiyanna Stewart and Jannah Handy have built more than a business; they’ve created a sanctuary where Black stories are collected, preserved, and honored. In a world that has long distorted or discarded our past, their work reclaims it — one object, one memory, one moment at a time. This is what ownership looks like. This is how we build the future by honoring where we’ve been.
