When Christine Platt set out on her journey to live with less, she never intended to become The Afrominimalist. She just wanted to tame the chaos in her closet! But after struggling with the austerity and whiteness of mainstream minimalism, Christine realized why minimalism often seems unattainable for so many: the emphasis on all-white, barren aesthetics distracts from the practice of living with intention. And so, she decided to do things her way by curating a life of less influenced by the African diaspora.

This is an invitation to understand the interconnectedness of overwhelm and our overall wellbeing. For years, the constant pursuit of success silently wreaked havoc on Christine Platt’s happiness and health.

So, she decided to use the same intentional living strategy that helped her reduce overconsumption: choose less.
