DECEMBER 2025 Wellness Resources
Practice doesn’t make perfect. It makes consistent habits and builds the foundations of success. Yet perfectionism tells us that practice isn't enough—that we must arrive already flawless.
As Black women, we expect perfection from ourselves in every facet of our lives—from school, to work, and home. The societal pressure to perform is ever-present, even when we haven’t given ourselves the space for practice and inevitable mistakes. While we fixate on perfectionism and give it power, we lose ourselves in the process. Here at BlackFemaleProject, we envision a world in which Black women can show up and be celebrated as our full selves without any negative consequence. Consider who you would be if you gave yourself the space to explore, find yourself, and make mistakes freely.
A new year is approaching: an invitation to continue your ongoing growth journey. Our December Resources offer articles, podcasts, and guided exercises to help you define your purpose, rediscover yourself, and release perfectionism. Explore them and give yourself permission to practice your way into 2026. Remember, practice makes progress. Not perfection.
