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, articles 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 my insights on writing, creativity, and personal growth.
