5 out of 5 starsAll of prayers are written in vagabroad journals. This is probably my 15th purchase. As soon as I notice I have a couple of pages before I finish the journal I start stalking the site. Each one is unique. Chimene is my soul sister. If you see a journal you like BUY IT now because it will be reserved or purchased within 24 hours. She prioritizes her self care while continuing to deliver amazing one of a king journals. Over the years she continues to give her journal time and attention each one deserves. Every journal has a personal note and made with love. No custom orders. Every journal is unique and her writing and art makes my heart smile. If you want to speak life into your words. Prayers. Affirmations. Thoughts. Life. Write it down make it plain. For me it’s so easy, vagabroad is the only journal that will suffice.

5 out of 5 starsAs always, I LOVE it! Chimene's creative genius inspires me. I purchased this second journal so that I would immediately have it at my fingertips as soon as I finish the first one.

5 out of 5 starsAlthough I was named after Dr. Maya Angelou I've lost touch with navigating the waters of my thoughts. This is my second journal from Chimene. It feels good to get back to my love of writing, it's truly therapeutic. I am allowed to reflect on my thoughts and get them out on the tea-stained pages. It's funny no matter how minuscule the moment I get to make it a memory, by releasing it and letting it go. No longer being held captive to my thoughts. I am truly thankful for Black women creatives. For a blank page serves no purpose, but a filled page can tell a story and live for the span of centuries. It's only been two weeks but I look forward to the continuing of me journeying soulfully. Maya 💜💜💜

5 out of 5 starsThis journal has felt like so much a part of me. I take it everywhere even when I don’t want to write. I also write a lot in it. For the first time it feels so natural for me to write in it or not write. I’m not sure is because the journal has an unfinished look but I don’t feel pressure to make it look a certain way. I’m a huge fan of these journals. I have many. The favorite part for me about this journal is the tassels! The bright orange tassels adds personality to the journal. Chimene outdid herself with this journal. The tea stained pages are beautiful. The cover pulls me in and the rest is history. I value so much my voice as a writer because of these journals. I can’t imagine my life without them. Thank you Chimene.

5 out of 5 starsThis journal came to me at a time of my deepest despair. What a Balm in Gilead! Chimene is a powerhouse of a woman. What a gift to tea stained women. She has created a work of art that women can place their life stories and living foundations in. A shelter in the storm, when needed; and a cerulean blue open sky for glorious occasions. Or just a quiet space to rest our daily thoughts. Her journals are seeped in bountiful love, to the smallest detail. Honestly, I have never experienced anything like this journal. And I have owned many. I've listened to Chimene on Youtube and other places, and I must says, she reminds me of the Greats: Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Bell Hooks etc. Chimene is intelligent, full of grace and wisdom. No wonder her journals are so beautifully powerful. Thank you Chimene.

5 out of 5 starsI haven't been writing in anything that wasn't made by Chimene for a few months now and I don't regret a thing. I connect more to my words and thoughts when I write in these journals. They are a beautiful part of my narrative/legacy.

5 out of 5 starsI’m in love with her work. One can tell her passion in these cards because every card has so much detail. I’ll continue to purchase art from her.

Yes, absolutely! You may reserve up to 2 (TWO) journals, for up to ONE WEEK. After this, your journal is taken off of reserve and made available to the public again.
Custom and personalized orders
***NO CUSTOM ORDERS***
How often do you update your shop?
I update once a week or twice a month. I know that's a huge range but it all depends on my work flow and how many journals are already in the shop. .
Why is your shop always near empty?
1. These journals go fast
2. I make each. by. hand. One journal is about 7 days of work.
Can you make (attaches image of a specific journal to email) one of your old journal designs for me?
I do not duplicate my own work. These are women's books for their story. Authors don't share book covers for their different stories. Thank you for respecting the women who own my old work by not requesting that I make their book cover for you.
