Brown Bo'hemians captures the essence and voice of an underrepresented demographic: creative people of color. Influenced by a deeply held belief that stories sculpt our collective narrative, a group of authors and artists came together to create this first-of-its-kind collection. Inspired by their unique tastes and experiences in fashion, lifestyle, and art, Brown Bo'hemians brings a vital and virtual movement, born on social media, to life and into print.

Born in the Mojave Desert, California, Vanessa Coore Vernon's purpose is to live her best, most authentic life-which she'll probably live (two or three) more times. Growing up on both the West and East Coasts fueled her love of exploration and nurtured her wildish spirit. Creative Curator of the lifestyle collective The Bohemian Brands with her partner Morgan Ashley, she blends her love of design, film, travel, and art to create a wanderlust of visual storytelling. Each of the brands acts as an intersection for local and global artistry, while actively providing space to connect, create, and collaborate. Through social platforms, she is able to engage in the celebration of the black and brown community globally. Vanessa currently resides in Atlanta amongst a girl gang of other inspirational women, and is forever indebted to her favorite humans, Valerie and Veronica. Born and raised in Oakland,Morgan Ashley's nomadic spirit led her to Atlanta and into alignment with her current role as Director of PR and Operations forThe Bohemian Brands. Destined to be anything but ordinary, Morgan's uncompromising, unapologetic pride in her blackness and queerness guide her as an entrepreneur and cultural purveyor. A connoisseur of culture, style, and cuisine, Morgan relied on these core tenets during her earliest days as an influencer and entrepreneur, launching the food discovery brand,EatHereATLthat she has since sold. It was also during this period of growth and discovery that she connected with business partner Vanessa Coore Vernon and conceivedThe Bohemian Brands, a joint venture created to rewrite the narrative behind the bohemian lifestyle and shed light on the intersectionality of social institutions such as race, sexuality, and gender. For Morgan, being Black is more than an identity; it is manna from heaven. Wendy Pruitt is a creative director and graphic designer who loves helping people bring their visions to life. Over the course of her over-15-year career, Wendy has worked on television commercials, radio ads, packaging, websites, piles of postcards, branding, and at least one pin-up calendar. This is her first book. Originally from the suburbs of Rochester, New York, she studied at the University of Florida before moving to Atlanta and attending The Creative Circus. After a decade in the corporate agency world, she set out as the founder of her own agency. While working with The Bohemian Brands, she's provided typeset artwork for products and visual brand boards. Wendy currently lives just outside Atlanta, in Decatur (where it's greater) with her husband, son, three cats, a dog, a fish, and a mess.
