Dear Mango guided journaling workshops and reflective writing community

What is Dear Mango?

Just like mangoes traveled across oceans and took root in new places, we all carry stories that connect us.

Dear Mango is a guided writing space for people who have been told they are too much or not enough. Your voice, story, and presence are all welcome here.
