perhaps what should be more disgusting is that i didn’t factor race into building my tiny house but when i first moved it to a RV Park i then was made aware i wasn’t welcome with the use of the N word and other aggressions to the point of considering needing police presence to ensure my safety, instead i moved my tiny house. they made it about race, i didn’t. i was living in my house minding my business. additionally disgusting is a later time on a farm location when white men in their trucks felt empowered to ride through that private property to again make me, a Black woman, feel unwelcome and unsafe in the area so again i had to move and later someone was arrested in another incidence for “racial intimidation”. so… instead of assuming the necessity of my conversation about race and tiny house living is “disgusting’ perhaps you should consider and investigate why it is necessary. i’d prefer not to have to have the discussion of how Black people have to consider their safety to be part of the tiny house movement -however in order to be part of the movement the conversation is necessary, as my unexpected experiences have shown. i/we deserve to also be part of the movement, as well as be safe in doing so. so with that, instead of being over here on my channel disgusted try first educating yourself on why the conversation is required and then secondly go spend your indignant energy dealing with white people and their racism -which is the entire root of this issue and so many others. be well…
@@MsBohemianSoulTV it is sad that we even have to consider educationg privilege white folks about what we experience. We can start any movement and they lay claim to it as their own and it's accepted but in the small event that they do start something and we take part we are subject to be lynched. Welcome to AmeriKKKA
I almost cried when you started talking about pairing tiny house owners/considerers with black farmers... finding safe and reasonable housing is always so difficult for us (especially the further you get away from the city and into rural areas) and rebuilding our communities is so vital and often overlooked. I can't wait to see what you create in the future bc I know it's gonna be seen everywhere as it deserves to be.
That’s what I loved most about the video. We should be helping each other as a community. We get so little already so we need to pool our resources for the greater good. Love how she thinks!

I LOVE that she is working to pair black farmers with black tiny home owners. Also that she sought out a black builder. This is an example of us helping our own to do well financially. She put her money and elbow grease where her mouth is!
Not understanding why a white person, would come on a black woman’s video to complain that she is mentioning HER race and HER desire to create INCLUSIVE spaces because WE tend to be very UNDERREPRESENTED. The absolutely ignorance, entitlement, and gall of some of you people is fascinating. The world is your oyster, still you find your way in black people’s business. I think what she is doing is very incredible and I love this home.
For someone to even come on and bring up it's about race when this woman didn't say nothing out of place she's just embracing being a black woman. And she's beautiful and she doesn't owe anybody, a explanation or apology. I support this gorgeous woman 1,000%. Many of the Ws community are naturally very jealous. like they were jealous of blacks in the Black Wall Street. so they burn down their houses and burnt communities because of their jealousy. 🖤💛♥️💚 But oh well they'll get over it it's a new day you don't have to ask permission to do God's work. 🧐🤦🏻♀️😎😇
That comment by the lady was awful. I'm white, and considering either a bus conversion or tiny house, and after seeing this video all I was wondering is whether I could pay Ms. Bohemian Soul to help me make mine look as classic and spacious as this! It's awful how she was driven out of multiple spot by evil creeps. I wish awful people would just crawl back under their troll bridges and not come out.
once again if all we see is white. Then it goes unsaid that their target Market is majority whites, I'm sure they include others but bc I understand Marketing it can get biased. She can decide who her Target Market is when it's a minority in need population.
I never thought about having to park your tiny house, I actually like that your showing this to the African American community. Sometimes homeownership is hard and rent nowadays is insane!
I am a black woman studying to be an Urban Planner. Watching this was incredibly inspiring, and is EXACTLY what the black diaspora needs for the future. This is especially because marginalized communities like ours suffer the most from gentrification and Environmental racism. Love this concept, and will be looking into it some more. Thank you!
This field is a headache so be prepared. In my years of doing urban planning, I have been the only black person in the room more times than I can count.
The only thing I would have added, if we lived in a perfect world, would have been such landscaping, particularly when you see several tiny houses grouped together and it would POP!!
NOBODY has a Tiny house as gorgeous as yours. I loved the building of it on HGTV. You were honest and forthright about wanting a larger closet. You knew what you wanted and you got it. Inspiratonal.
Jewel your home is beautiful! I loved hearing how you began the process. Many of us are so used to being surrounded by stuff. It clearly took a moment to get used to being without some stuff. Kudos to you. Spending money for something that’s YOURS. Absolutely amazing and truly proud of what you’ve accomplished. Thank you so much for sharing and inspiring.
Then you clearly haven't seen the breadth of creativity in the tiny home world. Appreciate this design but don't arbitrarily ignore the many others equally as beautiful and unique.
A truly beautiful home. You are an inspiration to black women. I LOVE IT!! As a single black female in the UK, I had been looking at tiny homes for years on youtube, but not seeing anyone like me doing it. And today here you are. You have brought such beauty and style to the tiny homes movement. I would definitely like to travel and attend your workshops. Jennifer J need understand that this is not about race, this is about inviting black people into a movement that they may have felt excluded from.
Hi Debra. I live in the north, in the UK, and yes, without RU-vid, and now some US TV shows, people were looking at me like I was crazy, when I talked about "living tiny". I am not in any type of position to do it, but, boy, do I appreciate the beautiful simplicity of it. The very best of luck to you.
I love this. Truly inspiring. I am 23 years old & have been considering building a tiny home. I currently reside in Washington, DC. Occupying a 1 bed, 1 bath, 549 sqft at $1,200/month. Electric not included. Pricey much. Of course I would like to purchase land first so my home could be anchored & not worry to much on placement. A great path for any person making their means for work them not against them. Especially black people. Pointing us in the right direction. Ownership is what I want to establish before 25. Having assets is what we all need. You’re completely right, we don’t have to sacrifice luxury. Thank you for more insight. I truly appreciate this video ☺️❤️

I'm in the same boat as you are Tee. DC, living in 1 bedroom, bath, $1200 rent. I started looking into tiny houses probably last year and this is the first time I'm hearing about not needing to give up something to go tiny.
Beautiful bald woman is what caught my eyes. I'm going through a chemo situation and loosing my is a possibility. I was shopping for wigs yesterday but now it's on my mind to rock the bald look. My hobby is photography and I'm thinking of doing a book of Beautiful bald woman also. Thanks for the inspiration.
Society shows us we have to live in mansions to be super happy and comfortable but this video right here shows us we also can be super happy like this I love it
I'm just stunned. You have a very lovely home ❤️ What makes a house a home is being unique and personal. It's just so annoying to see every tiny house has the same minimalistic style but yours is way more beautiful than any others. By the way, that lipstick looks fabulous on you.
You are truly a jewel to black women for many reasons. Your confidence and pride shows through your videos. Thank you for everything. Keep being a role model through your design, clothing, decor, persistence, etc. 🥰
1000% agreed. Your style is SO beautiful and lovely--surely top of any tiny home style I've ever seen and it clearly radiates from you. You are very remarkable and please keep being exactly who you are because you are so inspiring and amazing.
I would love to see more people (especially people of color) thriving in luxury tiny homes and getting out of cramped city apartments. Happy to see you advocating and educating on this.
I can't wait to have my tiny home. I live in a country where I can get land for free so I don't have to worry about where to put it. A tiny home makes it possible for me to achieve a lifelong dream on a budget and not spend my time working for someone else to pay for a bigger house. I can also build these for rental income and achieve wealth by small means that can grow over time.
@@audclaws I live in the Bahamas which comprise a group of islands and on most of them we have what we refer to as generation property and that means as long as you, your parents or grandparents are from that town then you can build on free land. You have to pay for land papers but that's less than $500 USD
I'm jealous! As an African American, sometimes I feel cheated. We were robbed of opportunity as such. But I am happy for you, and wish you well on your journey. Generational wealth is so important, especially for black people.
The pandemic has caused a shift in how people live. Tiny house living is a option for home ownership. Having it on wheels opens up opportunities. Hopefully states and municipalities will see the big picture soon. Thank you for sharing your life and skills.
Tiny house living has been a dream of mine since I was in my 20's. Im 44 now and Ive been living in my tiny home a year and a half now. This is indeed a labor of love and Im taking my time creating my space exactly how I want it. 400sq feet on a resort and I have ZERO regrets. I am so glad we are now realizing the joys of tiny house living, and I get to educate my friends and family about it.
Your home is a vibe. I love the “Black Wall St.” sign detail on the black wall. This video shows the beauty and depth of tiny house living. I appreciate the transparency and openness concerning this lifestyle. Love love the video
I saw your original build on the tube and it was the first tiny house I'd seen that screamed out luxury and home! It is so cozy and so open (love all the windows you did) and it is nothing but relaxing to the eye and spirit. I'm not in the market for a tiny home but if I was, I can say that yours is an inspiration for anyone who is thinking about it. Well done!
I love this! I live in Antigua and was struggling to find someone to build my tiny home! I asked the builder for my bedroom to be a balcony (overhead) and he looked shocked. The builder I finally got to tell me that it's possible told me I have very little space and too big dreams just because I wanted the bedroom to have a step up floor.. When I chose wood stain for my paint everyone dismissed me. And it is currently slowly getting there as financially, it's a lot but it will be mine and I am proud of it so far.
Sista' Gurl, you did that!! I've had my eye on container homes for about 5 yrs, but have never seen anyone finish (decorate) one as lovely as an upscale Harlem or Brooklyn brownstone! Thanks for the inspiration. Absolutely beautiful and aesthetically leveled up!
I’m affirming I will have my tiny home within two years. Super inspired after watching this video. Anyone that has any tips for Tiny Home living in Long Island, NY let me know 🙆🏾♀️

“Tiny houses must meet all zoning regulations including lot size, setback and minimum lot widths. Tiny houses cannot have wheels unless in a recreational vehicle park. Nassau County - The county has no minimum home area size requirement.” Might be the same for Suffolk too. Hope this helps.
I saw her on Stephanie Perry’s channel; and, she was one of the best to come on that channel. She’s a straight shooter, very articulate and she’s not messy. I immediately identified with what she was saying; and, had realized how I myself had been traumatized in a gentrified neighborhood.
I remembered when this aired on TV. I was yelling at the TV..."You go Girl!" like you said this a viable option for the black community. I started looking at floor plans. You are awesome and doing a wonderful thing for our community!!!
Same issue arises with building earthship houses. local permits won’t be given. I was introduced to earthship homes around the same time and back in those days a lot of people were being donated materials and volunteer helpers. It was as low as 7k to build a fully sustainable home that’s alleged to withstand earthquakes due to them being built in an erected/mound style. I’m glad to see some representation from back in the day on the tiny house topic. The house is lovely
Sis, you were stunning with your hair, and you're even more stunning without it! I recently had to shave my head, due to my cancer diagnosis, and I wish I could look this beautiful. Anyway I've been watching you for a few years, and I was so impressed by your elegance, style, and how beautifully your home was decorated. Several of my neighbors just relocated to TN, from TX, and purchased tiny homes. Yours is truly remarkable, and when I'm ready I'll definitely be reaching out! God bless you, and thanks for so many great ideas 🙏🏽🌹
Sorry to hear about your cancer diagnosis. May the LORD bring healing, peace and HIS comfort to you IN YESHUA JESUS NAME AMEN🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😇😇😇💞 Check out black seed oil and Dr Sebi mucus free alkaline diet, also check oregano oil and holy basil. Stay blessed 🙏🏽😇💞
I like your home and it's cultural beauty. The Tiny house has a lot of character. I believe in the future, this mentality against Tiny homes will eventually change. There are places in the world where the housing market isn't affordable like places in California and Australia. I also like the fact that when you had your Tiny house built you used Black builders. Thank-you for sharing your story and the realities of Tiny House living.
Your decorating skills are excellent. I was fascinated by the tiny house movement. Although I've come to understand it's not for me. No one can deny how beautiful your home is. It's just lovely.
As an indigenous Australian I can't wait to build our tiny house and put all my indigenous art work that my grandfather makes by hand and also have my husband's Eastern European culture in our tiny house too. Edit: We are living in a world now that owning a home no matter what race is getting very difficult for every race all over the world.
I'm obsessed with watching tiny home tours on RU-vid. This is one of the most beautiful and unique designs I've seen. Love the whole tiny house movement and how it is allowing people to think outside the box and "design their life."
Yes👸🏾👸🏾👸🏾…. Beautiful home & tour I wish I could go back in time & tell my ancestors your cabins will be popular to live in 400 yrs from now in the future & they will be affordable homes called tiny🏠s (just with a more fancy interior)…. I love the positive twist
I’m retiring at the end of the year, this is my DREAM to have a tiny house. My brother has a huge property in San Antonio, Texas, so this where my dream will be. I also plan on selling my home to fund this build. Your home is amazing.
I am so awed by your tiny space and your style. Thank you so much for sharing your philosophy, and your home with the Black diaspora. I think you give individuals options to creating a home. Nowadays, acquiring a home that's affordable is a daunting process. I am fascinated by learning about tiny homes and overall alternatives to the "normal" structures. This pandemic is pushing many individuals towards living out their dreams, or at least prepare a road map for one. You are amazing 👏🏿
In my book you are the number one tiny house builder! I'm in awe of what you've done it blows my mind your design skills are on another level¡! I've watched so many of these builds and my thoughts always come back to yours. You are absolutely amazing and if I don't say so myself I'm proud of you and I'm sure many others are as well!!!
I love this especially as a single Black woman farmer who owns land. I am planning to build my next primary residence on my property and possibly providing rental space.
I remember watching this on TV. I was so happy for you with your walk in closet. No woman wants to give up all her clothes and we want hanging closet. I'm glad you have a wonderful living space. Keep helping and blessing others. Trish 9/8/21
Thank you for taking the time to read my comment. It meant a lot to me. Just letting you know we were out there in the 70s. Back then camping was all about family and friends getting together having fun sharing secrets to cooking and camping. Telling jokes, playing games and movie nights.
I think she has a porch I can’t tell, broke my glasses. But the main trailer seems to be 400…I like adding an enclosed sleeping porch. I have tons of furniture and accessories I just need the structure.,selling my house and buying my own land. Away from nuts…
Hi there- so glad to see you and your beautiful house again. I watched you on that Tiny Home building show through your entire process. Back then you didn't call yourself Ms Bohemian and you had hair so I wasn't sure if you were a new owner when I first saw this. Your build was my favorite of all I've seen because you put such class and elegance into your design I was blown away. I love the porch addition for extra space....still beautiful. Sad to hear of your troubles in finding a safe place to park but you have persevered,good for you!
Dang momma! You read her for literature!!! And you did it holding no punches _while_ being graceful, intelligent, informative. Your tiny house and you are beautiful.
I have been looking up tiny houses for about 2 years now and yours is my favorite so far! I love that "you don't have to give up luxury to live in a tiny house".🖤
I remember seeing Jewel's tour of her tiny home years ago and thought that it was one of the best and most livable tiny homes I had ever seen. It is so wonderful to see that Jewel is still living and thriving the tiny lifestyle. Much love to you, Miss Jewel.
I love your home. I was inspired by one of your videos and others and did quite a bit of research before I built my tiny house, which is located in Creek Walk Tiny Home Community in Travelers Rest, SC. My home is called Tall Cloud Tiny and it was built to specs for my height of 5’11” and with my multi cultural aesthetic in mind. I have moved a lot of my personal belongings into the shed because I am renting it out at the moment, but I will be retiring soon and will be finishing the interior of the shed and the back porch to make it ready for me to live. Love your place and want to see more people of color go tiny!! My home cost about $103K and is 100% mine.
i’m familiar with that community and had planned to visit it and just never have. i’m glad to have been part of your inspiration and happy to hear the build of your home included a cultural aspect, i think that’s important to actually create home. i’m sure you are looking forward to being back in it. i too hope and look forward to more people of color (or people of the global majority, as i am now saying) being able to embrace and join this movement.
Tiny house is excellent for me 74 year old lady needing to downsize and none of my children want me as I get older but want me to help them. Now I need to help myself. I want my own land in Texas.
I was so motivated and inspired after seeing your episode with everyone I knew when it aired. I'm so glad you came across my feed again. Your design is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story and being an example of choosing to live the life we want to live!
I've seen some of these "tiny house" videos and I must say that this was the most enjoyable!! I'm a black older woman and I really enjoyed this video. You mostly see white folks commenting on these projects and it was nice to see a woman of color create something from a vision in her mind. Thanks for sharing!!! I'm all about sharing information.
You will always be legendary in my eyes. I always read or watch anything about your journey. Your home is my ideal because it is lovely, afrocentric, and practical/liveable. Also no bending,or crawling!
You are definitely a trail-blazer. You’ve inspired me to look into Tiny house living. I absolutely fell in love with your beautiful home when I seen it on HDTV , years ago. Thank you for creating an opportunity to learn from your experiences. I am definitely interested in using your consultation services. You are amazing!!!!
I am currently living in 390 sq feet with my daughter this video has changed my life. You are one amazing women and I love this video. We own land and they have approved our blue print but our issue is the high payout to do this without funding. I cant wait to speak with you further maybe you can help us get further. You are the pioneer and trailblazer.
Your tiny house is so beautiful. I always tell my family I want the tiny house and they think am crazy. It's so inspiring to see a black woman in a tiny home because I watch endless tiny house videos and barely see any black people within that community. Your African art and colour choices are so harmonious. I am in love with your home ❤️❤️
Absolutely stellar! It definitely looks like a little slice of heaven, with the Ancestors honored all around! I don't want to live tiny, but I'd LOVE to have a tiny home like yours, even if but for a creative studio. How beautiful would it be to replace poorly constructed "homes" for those MOST in need of help, with beautiful homes like yours. I love every little detail. Thank you for sharing. Acquiring land for safe spaces should be something we all consider.
Beautifully designed and great use of space. This place looks so much bigger than 480 sq foot. I love that it really feels like an actual home and not just a camper. And love the message to invite everyone to consider this as a viable housing option.
Your tiny home has been a favorite of mine ever since I first saw the construction on HGTV. You have an incredible eye for interior design. I love everything about your home! Keep living your best life! You're an inspiration.
"Design your life."👏🏽 That hit my spirit strongly...✨ Thank you for uploading. Have been pondering on looking into building a tiny (modern style) house. Your home is absolutely beautiful and I applaud you for sharing your experiences and for creating this channel. Your knowledge is so helpful to many especially in this economy right now. By the grace of God and the love of an intelligent hard working generous grandfather, I proudly have a small piece of inherited land substantial enough, Why not a tiny home..🤷🏽♀️ Your video has resparked an idea in me.😊 Once again, Thank you.
WOW What an Incredible Home. Your Style Design Decor is Flawless. Bravo for having all that you cherish surrounding you. Thank you for being on the planet. I am now going to binge watch your Videos. Love from Canada.
So glad this popped up in my recommended section, your tiny home is everything ! I've been doing research for a while about tiny homes and that is the route that I have decided to take, thank you for sharing your space with us!
I’ve been following the tiny house movement for a while, but your story made me fall in love. You look like me (locs with red patch). Still have my locs, but still in love with you, what you do and the doors you’ve opened for people like “us”. Keep living. Keep inspiring and we’re here to watch it all…..
This is the most beautiful tiny house I have seen. Looks like a small, stylish city apt unlike the typical tinys you see. I also would need a walk-in closet and bathroom counter space! You have inspired my design for my future tiny home. All the best to you, sistah. ❤🖤💚
This is a beautiful tiny home. I'm so glad I found your video. As another Black/WOC that's a fan of tiny homes, it's great to see your video. I've been encouraging everyone I know to look into it as an option if they're able, as an alternative to traditional homes. I heard recently that a state (it may have been Vermont) is changing their regulations/laws with regard to tiny houses, and where they can be built or placed so they can be treated more like a traditional house. I think this is very promising for new and first time homebuyers, land owners looking to provide alternative housing for their families, and for the housing crisis for those having possible homelessness. Edited to add: as I was watching this video I kept thinking this house looked familiar, especially with the distinctive closet and arched window. Then I realized, I saw you on an episode of a Tiny House show on HGTV. I'm subscribing for sure. I was wondering where this journey took you, because there are so few BIPOC on the tiny house shows on HGTV.
