Have you noticed that people don’t really talk about blogging anymore, but newsletters keep getting mentioned more and more? It’s because readers want a more personal approach to blogging. We now publish a newsletter that provides just as much information and even more interaction. You can also subscribe and read newsletters delivered to your email, and join chats to talk to newsletter writers and the community. I wish I had this along with my blog in the past.
If there’s one thing the internet has given us, it’s the fact that you can build communities anywhere. These three Black women have used their voices to do just that. With their own cool perspective on the world of fashion and entertainment, they let us peek into their world and join in the fun.
