Bold, stylish, and unapologetically confident—this fashion notebook pairs vibrant African American art with everyday function. A striking portrait of a poised Black woman in a black-and-white polka dot coat and wide-brim hat sits against a rich blue background, with the hand-lettered word "DIVA" layered across the cover like a statement. Featuring original artwork by Antionette Simmons Hodges, this ruled journal celebrates the timeless elegance and cultural heritage of Black women's fashion and self-expression.
Inside, smooth ruled pages invite notes, lists, sketches, and plans, while a discreet document pocket keeps loose receipts or mementos safe. The metal spiral lets the notebook lie flat or fold back for comfortable writing on the go. Compact and tactile, it slips into a tote or sits on a desk as a little daily reminder to carry yourself with flair.

The clean lines and minimalist polka dot palette amplify the sophistication while honoring the tradition of hat-wearing—a hallmark of dignity and grace in African American culture.
