I asked a simple question back in 2019 — nothing rude or challenging.
Just curiosity.

But the silence and the way it was met? That spoke volumes.

Sometimes, honesty makes people uncomfortable.
Sometimes, their silence is the answer.

You don’t have to shrink or chase clarity from those who benefit from your confusion.

✨ Ever been left hanging after asking a genuine question? Drop a 🧩 below. Let’s remind each other that our curiosity is valid.

Sometimes, the weight we carry isn’t just physical — it’s digital and emotional.
I deleted over 1,000 old DMs—messages from people who ghosted me, conversations that drained my energy, and memories I was holding onto for too long.
No long goodbyes. Just release.

And instantly? I felt lighter.
Clearer. More at peace.

If your inbox feels like emotional clutter, maybe it’s time to let go.
Your peace is worth more than old conversations.

I used to think being followed by major pages meant I was doing something right.

But over time, I realized… that kind of visibility isn’t the same as support, community, or alignment.
It looked good. It felt validating for a moment.
But it wasn’t real.

✨ I’ve stopped idolizing follower counts.
✨ I’ve stopped keeping people around for optics.
✨ I’ve started curating my space with intention.

Because what truly matters is who shows up for you, not who just watches.

If you’ve been holding onto empty validation, let this be your sign to shift your energy toward real connections.

They’ll call you ‘freelancer’ but forget the emotional labor, clarity, and community-building it takes to run a brand when you’re not already an influencer or viral account.
This isn’t side hustle work — this is calling work.

Everyone talks about posting “value,” but what’s the point if your brand has no direction?

I work with creatives, coaches & small brands who are tired of spinning their wheels online.

You don’t need another content strategy.
You need a foundation. A clear voice. And offers that actually sound like you.

If you’re ready to stop blending in and start converting — my 1:1 clarity sessions are now open.

You created a brand kit… now here’s how to actually use it.

If your logo, fonts, and colors are just sitting in a folder, this is your sign to start putting them to work.

Here are 3 powerful ways to use your brand kit like a pro:

✅ Design consistent, polished posts that match your brand identity
✅ Bring that same energy to your website or link-in-bio
✅ Use your kit to speed up your design decisions and stop second-guessing

Your brand kit isn’t just a visual guide — it’s a tool for confidence, clarity, and connection.

Ready to actually use yours?

For a while, I thought I had it all together — consistent colors, fonts, and logos everywhere. But my brand still didn’t feel like me.

Consistency is important, but alignment is next-level. It’s when your brand visuals, values, and message truly reflect who you are and what you stand for.

If you’re showing up consistently but something feels off, maybe your brand needs more alignment — the kind that connects deeply with your vision and audience.

Have you experienced this? Let’s talk about it in the comments!

Brand Kits Don’t Have to Be Overwhelming

A brand kit is just a collection of tools to keep your visuals consistent — but what exactly do you need to start? Here are the basics:

🔹 Logo versions (your main logo plus simple alternatives)
🎨 A color palette of 3 to 6 core colors that reflect your brand
🔤 Fonts for headings, subheadings, and body text

Starting with these makes creating content, websites, and marketing materials much easier — and your brand instantly more recognizable.

Do you have these basics yet, or are you just getting started? Tell me in the comments!

About Me.

My name is Amani. I am the CEO of "Designs By Mani", a graphic designing brand I was eager to start because of my love for design, and how much I enjoy my own creativity. What made me start this brand is not ONLY my love for design and art, but also something to help launch new CEO's.

Not only do I help to enhance the brands of those who are in need, but I also want to help others who are new to the business world get business essentials that can help their brands stand out. When being involved with those who need extra push and guidance, it's my duty to make sure that branding needs are being fulfilled, so that individuals can feel a genuine essence within their brands.

I know the feeling of being new, and feeling stressed over steps you have to take due to nothing being clarified for you. That's why I'm willing to offer resources in order to give you a boost, along with a different perspective on entrepreneurship.

​If you're down to work with someone who is fully understanding, and hands on when helping you establish your brand, that's what I'm here for! But you must be willing to put in the work.
