Welcome
Smooshie Bear is a blog dedicated to uplifting depressed nerdy black women we call sweethearts. We especially adore girly sweethearts who love anime, kpop, cosplay, mangas, comics, the color pink, video games, reading, hugs, and more.
Smooshie
To be Smooshie means to have warm spirits, are sweethearts, and adore being bouncy. Smooshie also means to be soft, positive, as well as bubbly. More importantly, to be Smooshie means to love hugs, cuddles, snuggles, and spreading love.
Smooshie Bear
Is filled with fantastical short stories encouraging black sweethearts to forever and always be your authentic smooshie self. Here, we encourage hugs and snuggles for all black sweethearts. We love you.
Smooshie Me
I am Mandie Mooshie, a smooshie sweetheart that remembers expressing interest in cosplay. People told me that black women don’t cosplay. I started to see how black women are not allowed to be soft, bubbly, positive, snuggly, fun, bouncy, inviting, sweethearts, and so much more. I suppressed my tastes for Kpop, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Anime, Manga, HUGS, among other things because those are things black girls don’t do. I became depressed. Now, in my late 20s, I am embracing all of my smooshie me and hoping to encourage other black sweethearts to be true to themselves.
