In the Mood For: Notes and Poems

Part composition, part sanctuary-In the Mood For is a collection of poetry, lyrics, and musings that serves as a literary companion to Erika's debut jazz album.

Rooted in the refusal to shrink or stay small, this book captures the raw, unfiltered arc of Black girlhood, faith, and self-forgiveness. Born out of a personal revelation to stop minimizing the most authentic parts of herself, Johnson extends an intimate invitation to stop fragmenting who you are and step boldly into your full, undivided selfhood.

From the tender grace of "Dirt" to the newfound clarity of "Soft Girl," this interactive collection balances vulnerability with gentle guidance. In the Mood For is more than a book-it is a space of reflection to travel down yourself, honor every mood, and to return home.

Inside these pages, you will discover:

Album Lyrics & Poetry: An unspooling capture of verse and stanza-the written genesis and full scope of every song.

Notes & Honest Musings: Candid reflections that witness the shifts, narratives, and process of authenticity.

Reflective Journaling Prompts: Space designed to encourage introspection, growth, and liberation.

Whether you are seeking a quiet moment with poetry, creative inspiration, or a dedicated haven for personal reflection, this collection offers a quiet landing pad for your journey.

In the Mood For reminds you: There is space here for you. You are free to travel down yourself-and return home.
