Welcome To

Thorn & Bloom Collective

Come as you are.

Leave rooted, refreshed, and renewed.

Mission Statement
Thorn & Bloom Collective creates a space for women to embrace both their thorns and their blooms, recognizing that God works through the trials to bring forth transformation, healing, and purpose.

Introductory Reflection

Welcome to Thorn & Bloom Collective

Now listen, ladies, welcome! I’ve been sitting on this for years. This “thing" among many other things, has been stirring in me, and now it’s pouring out. I’m in one of the most intimate transitions I’ve ever experienced with God, and I’m finally ready to share this sacred space with you.

Thorn & Bloom was born from my own story, the thorns and the blooms. The painful moments I’ve endured have led to beauty blossoming within me. And now I know: I cannot live this life without God.

Like a rose, we carry thorns, not to harm us, but to protect and shape us. And yet, even with those thorns, we are called to bloom.

This space is for that journey, where faith, purpose, and community grow together.

I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome to a space where your thorns are honored and your bloom is celebrated.

The Collective Reminder:

Thorns

Our challenges are not a sign of weakness but a reflection of God’s refining work in us.
Bloom

God calls us to thrive, not survive, as we grow into the fullness of our identity and purpose in Him.
Community

We support each other through thorns and rejoicing in every bloom.

About the Book Club:

The Thorn & Bloom Book Club is designed to create a nurturing space where black women can come together to explore themes of faith, identity, healing, and purpose through literature. It’s a space to reflect, share, and grow spiritually while strengthening the bonds of sisterhood.

Grow. Heal. Bloom.

The next round of the Thorn & Bloom Book Club is here, and trust me, this one is special.
