About us

Hey there! I'm Salokya, the owner and founder of Be Kind. The idea for Be Kind came about during my early postpartum days in 2022 when South Africa's borders were still closed because of Covid. As a first-time mom with all my family overseas, it was a pretty lonely time for me. I've been journaling since I was about seven, thanks to a holiday homework assignment that turned into a lifelong habit. My journal was my go-to for venting frustrations, celebrating wins, and keeping secrets. But during those tough postpartum days, it became a place where I mostly complained, not really seeing the bright side—my healthy, happy baby and my incredibly supportive husband. I realized that free journaling wasn’t working for me. I needed something to help me stay present and focus on the good stuff. When I couldn’t find a guided journal that fit the bill, I decided to make my own.

With a 5-month-old baby in my arms, I sketched out every page of what would become The Every Day Journal, filling it with prompts that helped me. I soon realized that others might need a journal like this too, and that’s how Be Kind was born. Be Kind is all about self-care, self-love, staying in the moment, and being grateful for the present. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope our journals bring a bit of peace and positivity into your life!
