About The Mediocre Black Woman

Where here you're already enough — rest, mess, and all. I created this space for every Black woman who's ever been asked to shrink, over-perform, or prove herself just to be seen. The Mediocre Black Woman is an ecosystem built on rest, visibility, strategy, and community. A digital sanctuary where storytelling, spirituality, and real resources live together under one roof, so Black women can feel seen without needing to prove a thing. Part shade, part sanctuary: storytelling, spirituality, resources, and real talk for those who are done proving.

​

There was a time she swallowed her truth so others could stay comfortable. She mastered the art of quiet compliance, mistaking peacekeeping for peace. Then she remembered an ancient truth: Abracadabra — I create as I speak. Every word carries weight. After years of people-pleasing, shape-shifting, and settling for spaces that dimmed her light, Goddess Theadora launchedThe Mediocre Black Woman as an act of liberation — a reclamation of her own voice. Before the podcast ever existed, she wrote in her journal: “What would it feel like to stop chasing approval? To release the need to be extraordinary — and simply exist? Could I still find joy, worth, and meaning in just being me?” That question became the seed — and the movement — behind The Mediocre Black Woman.
