Made for a black girl, by a black girl.
Trey’s been referred to as Oprah’s little sister. She’s the real deal! She’s not afraid to tell it like it is. She’ll give you the pep talk that you need and won’t lie to you. She’s determined to let you see that you have the power to get your ass back in this game of life on your own terms!
Black Girl In Love (With Herself) is Trey’s lifestyle brand which has launched touring theatrical shows, merchandise, workshops, and retreats as well as the first planner/organizer created specifically for professional black women.
“This is what we’re not going to do.”

I’m a black girl, trying to navigate a world that doesn’t truly see me... How can you love yourself when the mainstream media barely acknowledges your existence?
Released in January 2021 by Hay House Publishing, Trey’s book, Black Girl In Love (With Herself), is a deeply personal reflection on Trey’s journey and how she learned to tweak — ok… damn well nearly reinvent the self-care message to fit a black girl like herself.
Black Girl In Love (With Herself) will have you laughing and crying! Black girls around the world will be reimaging and reinventing their lives in order to push past these demands and truly come into their own on their own terms.
By sharing stories from her own life and years of intense therapy (Yes, black women, despite what our mothers tell us, we should go to therapy!), she explains how black mothers and grandmothers unwittingly create an unhealthy dynamic by encouraging their daughters to be “strong” black girls who therefore don’t know how to rest or practice self-love.
Trey shares how she was able to take off her Superwoman cape and let go of the need to please everyone. In turn, she gives black girls around the world a personalized and practical “keeping it real” to-do list to become a black girl in love (with herself).

Speak the unspeakable tings. Black Girl in Love. Finally, someone is going to talk about it!
An uncensored night of true sisterhood and support as we tackle the “taboo” topics of miscarriage, infertility, fibroids and of course, black women and therapy. We will also delve right in and ask the forbidden questions around motherhood, such as, “Do you regret having kids? Are you a good mom? And what do you do when the one glass of wine isn't enough to deal with your life?” We will have a resourceful, fun, engaging expert panelist and real moms sharing their lives.
The night promises to have you exhaling, laughing, and begging for more.
