Women Bloggers You Should Know
I spent most of my summer familiarizing myself with women bloggers and writers. As a woman of color who writes and blogs, i think it’s so important to support other black and brown women by visiting their websites and sharing words of encouragement.
Most of us are familiar with big blogger names like Yagazie Emezie and naturalbelle, but there are a few women bloggers you may not know that you should. Here are four of my favorites for all things hair, food, fashion and womanhood!
