Thank you Blackstack and all of you- it all starts with a click-
When I signed up for this platform, it was to share stories and create a space for the thoughts weighing on my heart. As Nursing Differently, a nurse transitioning into agriculture, my focus has been on exposing the hardships faced by healthcare staff—a journey filled with both laughter and sorrow. What I found here, however, is more than just a platform; it’s a place of healing.
In my own journey, I’ve discovered that the writings here resonate deeply with me, often reflecting my own voice and experiences. I’m grateful for BlackStack and excited to delve further into the self-care, empowerment, and growth shared within this community.
Thank you for being part of my morning routine, whether it’s Sunday or Monday, as I write to you from Guam.
As Nursing Differently, I deeply value the work shared here and the community it fosters. As I continue to share my journey with others—creating safe spaces and a space for healing and education—I’m tremendously grateful to be held alongside this community.
Oh wow Nursing Differently! Girl what is your name? I am hugging you extra tight after reading this one!
I’m the face behind most of the newsletters but the one running the publication account, it’s very nice to meet you. I am glad you found this community we too are new, only 2 months old to be exact.
I truly look forward to connecting with you more soon!
Oh this issue is it! I just have to say Blackstack has made my entire Substack experience top tier! I just joined in July. I was writing on Medium for a few years and rarely found others like me on that platfrom. Because of yall I have more newsletters I'm interested in than the time to read them (mostly written by black woman too!!!) And that makes this space feel so much like... home. And thanks so much for the feature 🙏🏿 🤍
Girl, you are going to make me cry. I’m thrilled to hear this, that was the goal so mission accomplished right?
I want you to share your story in September for SSA, so check your calendar and just let me know in the comments on that post. It’s the Attn: BlackStack Community one. I know the community is going to LOVE your section when you share.
Appreciate the special recognition Jacquie and can’t thank you enough for building a platform that let this series flourish and grow to it’s full potential. Been a hell of a ride so far 🙏🏾

Yes yes flowers to you and the others who've helped build this space 💐
Just signed up, thanks for the push!
What a robust, inspiring collection of works to dig into this morning!
The word play there is insane! I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on them!
I appreciate being included in this 🔥 line up. 🙏🏽
Listen, after yesterday girl you are the gatekeeper! I stayed quiet once you stepped in and for that, Thank you!
It’s nice to have someone go harder than me on that boundary and it’s even better when it’s not always me.
As far as this lineup, keep showing up and I’ll see it and make sure everyone else does too.
He fucked up tagging me in shit I otherwise may have not even seen so you can thank the Niggods for sending a REAL one to check and correct.
I’m not nice — I ginsu slice.
I’ll keep writing and we’ll see what it do. Nothin but gratitude.
Thank you so much for featuring me! Long live BlackStack!
Of course Whitney! Thank you so much for being our first paid sub, and the ongoing support because of you we can say “long live BlackStack!”
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

John, I appreciate how you have taken on the curator role for the series and carved your lane in the community.
As far as I’m concerned, you're a part of the foundation of BlackStack so a special recognition isn’t even enough, you know? More to come!
