dear society,
Hi! I’m Amber, the creator of dear cociety,. I was born in Hollywood, Florida, and raised in the DC-Metro area. I studied marketing at the University of South Florida and recently earned my MBA from the University of Maryland.
dear society, started as a blog — a quiet space where I could pour my thoughts onto the page, reflect on the challenges of society, and share my perspective as a young Black woman navigating a world that often overlooks voices like mine. I wanted to create a space not only for my own self-expression, but for others to feel seen, heard, and inspired to explore their own creativity.
Today, dear society continues that mission through thoughtfully designed notebooks, journals, and planners — tools to help you pause, reflect, and create space for yourself amidst the busyness of life. Every page is an invitation to slow down, nurture your thoughts, and honor your story.
If you’re curious to learn more or want to connect, I’d love to hear from you. And you can explore our stationery collection here.
