Hey Readers,
Long time, no see! It has just been over a year since my last post (You can check out my last post, DIY Flaxseed Gel for Natural Hair here). Have y’all missed them?
During my break from blogging, SOOO much has happened! Here is a brief rundown:
1. I graduated college (a whole year early 🎉) with a Bachelor of Art in International Studies. In college, I majored in International Studies with a regional focus on the Middle East and a thematic focus in Global Health and the Environment, and double minoring in Middle Eastern Studies and Foreign Services.
2. I launched my business BLK MKT Brand! Rooted in ethical and sustainable values, BLK MKT Brand retails the first to market gender-neutral fragrance balm. A fragrance balm offers a unique way of delivering fragrance in a solid-state rather than the usual liquid mix of alcohol and water. Our handcrafted fragrance balms are made with all-natural products from local artisans and are designed with the underrepresented individual in mind. BLK MKT Brand has created the first line of gender-neutral fragrance balms. Rather than organizing its products by gender, BLK MKT Brand opts to organize our fragrances by scent profiles.
BLK MKT Brand is inspired by individuals with marginalized identities and their power to heal and love themselves. BLK MKT Brand’s products are designed to restore, repair, and reverse the toxic effects of systemic discrimination.
Inclusion –
BLK MKT Brand believes in our business model and is committed to our promise “of inclusive beauty without secrets.”
Sustainability –
BLK MKT Brand is committed to using sustainable packaging options, whenever available. All of our glass containers are ready to recycle after use if you cannot find another use for them.
3. I moved back to my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, and began my first post-grad position. Since moving back home, I have moved into my own apartment, began my career as a 1st grade teacher, and began to grow my business in a new city. Definitely more updates to come about this!

Changes to the blog –
Over the last couple of weeks, I have revaluated how I want to run this blog. No longer will With Fearless Faith just be a written blog. Instead, I will be adopting a multimodal approach to the blog. This means that posts may include videos, brief podcasts, or even visual art as a form of expression. I am SO very excited to implement this new strategy, and I think it will allow me to express myself in a more meaningful fashion. With that begin said, prepare yourself for a wider range of topics that will be discussed on this blog.
Okay y’all, I am so excited for this new journey! Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
Have an Inspiring,
Faith Nixon
