Ms. Bohemian Soul
I’m Jewel and I designed and built my tiny house in 2015 because I want to live and know freedom.
The Off Ramp represents that journey, and what I’ve lived and learned along the way.
The Off Ramp represents exiting things that no longer serve you and redesigning with intention, clarity, and liberation.
Sometimes the exit is immediate.
Sometimes it's down shifting and changing lanes.
The direction is the same, heading to peace, freedom and joy.
Here you’ll find tiny house tips, community conversations, design insights, personal reflections, and the truths and work that have shaped my journey for more than a decade. My lived experience as a Black woman in this movement, centering the stories and realities that often go untold.
Whether you’re simplifying your life, reimagining home, navigating a personal transition, or choosing a new direction, this space is here to support your Off Ramp — whatever that looks like for you.
Welcome to Ms. Bohemian Soul.
Welcome to The Off Ramp.

A new chapter is beginning! I’m transitioning our community from Patreon into the Soul Collective Community on HighLevel — a new digital home designed for deeper connection and more connected conversations.
Community is at the heart of The Soul Collective. It gives us a place to reflect, connect, and grow alongside people who understand the journey toward freedom and intentional living. We design our lives differently when we’re supported, seen and held in a space that honors who we’re becoming.
Your first 21 days are free, so you can explore the space, meet the community, and decide if it aligns with your own path. If you choose to stay, you can lock in the introductory Founding Member rate of $35/month until January 4th.
I’m also hosting an Open House Walk-Through on November 30th at 6:30pm ET, where I’ll show you how everything flows and answer any questions you may have - link and details in the Community.
If you’ve been wanting more connection, more conversation, and more community — this is your invitation.
Join the Soul Collective Community on High Level: tinyurl.com/3bkw4njc
Hope to see you there!

In 2016, we made history 🏡✊🏾 by adding Appendix Q (Tiny Houses) to the International Residential Code (IRC) — giving tiny homes on foundations their first real place in building regulations. That win changed the game.
But one part of the dream was left behind: movable tiny homes on wheels.
✨ Now, 9 years later, we finally have a chance to change that. Adding movable tiny homes to the IRC would mean legitimacy, safety recognition, and a clear path to legal placement — just like foundation-based tiny homes.
Here’s where you come in 👉🏾 To succeed, the International Code Council needs to hear from us — loudly and in numbers.
If you believe, like I do, that movable tiny homes deserve a safe, recognized, and legal place in our communities, please sign + share, share, share the petition today. We’re pushing for 15k signatures!
🖤 Here’s the link: c.org/Dffcgf5YvT
Let’s make history again!
