HEY,
I'M ARCHULETA

I am a journalist, author, poet, and creative entrepreneur whose work centers on amplifying the voices and experiences of Black women. With a career spanning nearly two decades, I've built a platform that blends fearless storytelling, cultural critique, and mental health advocacy.
​
My journey began in 2006 when I submitted my first manuscript to a publishing company, resulting in a contract just three weeks later. In 2015, I launched a blog to share my writing consistently, which has since evolved into a multifaceted brand encompassing books, a podcast, YouTube channel, and workshops. I have self-published multiple books, including When Black Women Breathe, a poetry collection celebrating the resilience and complexity of Black womanhood, and a 3-book writer series offering guidance for writers navigating anxiety, productivity and finding your voice.
​
My essays and poetry have been featured in the Sun Times, Military Brat Life, The National Library of Poetry, Nia Magazine, Permission to Write, and Resolute Magazine. As a contributing writer for Black Girl Nerds, I explore topics ranging from racial justice and pop culture to health equity and gender politics.
​
Through my YouTube channel and the FearlessINK podcast, I share insights on writing, creativity, and personal growth, fostering a community of aspiring and established writers.
