Junebug Ink is the vision of Jackie Monk—a lifelong stationery devotee who believes the written word still holds extraordinary power. Founded in 2022 and named in honor of her late sister June,
a passionate letter writer, Junebug Ink is a Black-owned, female-founded greeting card brand that celebrates Black culture, heritage, and joy through cards designed to be cherished.

After decades shaping the voice and direction of some of the country’s most influential magazines—WSJ. Magazine, Real Simple, Essence, InStyle, and Vibe—Jackie set out to create something more personal: a modern paper house where culture, storytelling, and elevated design live beautifully together. The result is a collection of luxury greeting cards with heartfelt messages that honor tradition while embracing contemporary life. What began as a tribute has become a brand redefining what it means to send a card—restoring intention, beauty, and permanence to the art of correspondence.
