Hi, I am Chemistry Novels. Welcome to my page of an amazing recipe dedicated to Black girls all over the world who desires to be celebrated, motivated, and appreciated.

​

This safe space was created for my Sistahs who struggle with self-love and self-care in a toxic environment that doesn't allow us enough room to isolate and be free.

​

Born as Latifah Monique Scurlock March 28, 1990, I am a Black girl, just like you, raised in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood on the Southside of Chicago, IL. It was in my hometown where I learned to overcome gangs & gun violence, beat the odds of teenage pregnancy, and avoid becoming a statistic in the Juvenile court system. Chicago is not all that it portrays in the media. Outside of two violent neighborhoods
it is truly a beautiful tourist city. It made me the great woman that I am today.

​

Upon graduating from Percy L. Julian High School I went on to study Radio, News, and Television at "Thee" Tennessee State University, a HBCU, where I earned a Bachelors of Arts and Science Degree in Communication May of 2013.

​

I currently serve as a Logistics Supply SGT in the U.S Military.

​

As I grew older and began to build my résumé in many work environments, I discovered that I had no space to exist, no room to breathe, and no place to feel comfortable in my skin. I felt smothered with the excessive amount of attention because I stood out as a double minority; A Black woman. I couldn't just simply exist without constantly being stereotyped or noticed for the littlest things from the texture of my hair to my "exotic" cultural traits and features.

​

So I created a safe environment for myself and others like me to feel embraced, loved, and wanted.

I welcome you into this space of acceptance and nourishment for the Black girl who wants to just simply ... be.
