Dear Mango began as a personal inquiry.

A quiet curiosity about my name, lineage across cultures, and our love of mangoes. Like mangoes that traveled across oceans and took root everywhere, we all carry stories that connect us. No matter where you're from or where life has planted you. This space welcomes anyone who's been told or felt they're 'too much' or 'not enough.'

Everywhere I look, I see people planted in soil that can't nourish them. Working jobs that drain them, staying in relationships that diminish them, living lives that feel too small. I lived that way for years. Reflective writing changed my life by helping me find my way back to myself.
