Dear Mango is my origin story. Discovering how my name, Mona, connects to Mango.

But really, it's an invitation for you to discover your own.

Just like mangoes traveled across oceans and took root everywhere (Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East), we all carry stories that connect us. No matter where you're from or where life has planted you, your voice is welcome here. Dear Mango creates space for reflective writing and welcomes anyone who's felt too much or not enough to belong elsewhere.

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 this way for years until I stepped back and found my way back to myself.

If you're ready to do the same, I'm here to guide you. Through daily journaling series and community workshops across continents and time zones, we use the power of pen to paper to discover what's been waiting beneath the surface.

We don't have forever to connect the dots. The time to study yourself is now.

With love and abundant roots,
Mona
