Blog Hops & Memes

Heyyy everyone!! Thanks For taking the time to stop by my little spot on the web if you found me on Blogs Her Color!

I am so excited that I actually won the spotlight but even more excited to be able to find and network with other Great women of color!  I am Jennifer AKA Jen. I am a Biracial almost 30 *cries 11-27* mom living it up in Hott ATL!   I am  really excited about Blogs her color and feel that we should all come together and help market it more to get new members on board.  When I started blogging I was always finding myself searching for Moms and women like me.  I knew that women of color blogged but where were they!!?  I did find a few and during the year I have found more but I still know that I am missing some!

I read a post a few months back on another blog asking where is all these women of color bloggers in reference to BLOGALICIOUS and the post struck me because I myself was asking the same thing.   We know we are out there but where!  I read a comment in response to that from another blogger of color and she said it best basically saying she don’t feel that she has to flaunt on her blog that she is a women of color.  I thought about that comment all day and I gotta agree with her.   I don’t feel that we have to put a seal up on our blog stating we are women of color but on the flip side I would like to be able to find you.   I also have noticed that women of colors are saying that the black community is not supporting their blogs like the other communities, but again I question is it because we don’t know where you’re at to support you?, are you updating your blog regular?, are you interacting with others who actually post a comment on your blog?

I know that I have found a few blogs that I go to and it’s never updated  which leads me to believe you’re not blogging anymore, or the blogs that do update when I post a comment giving you support I never see the same support or comment love in return then.  I know we don’t have time to go comment everyone back who comments our blogs. Trust me I have kids and my life is Hectic but don’t expect someone to always show you support when you’re not giving back yourself.

I feel that Blogs her color will be a great tool for us all to find women and mothers that can relate to us in one place without having to search for hours.  I hope we use this as a support tool to not only gain new readers but to support each other.   They are days that I want to post something that I feel only women of color can actually relate to but find myself holding it in draft because I know My loyal readers and support system whom I LOVE BTW would not know how to comment on it without it sounding wrong or raciest kwim? So I don’t want to put them in a uncomfortable situation which now after talking to others I refuse not to post something on my blog because of that.  This is my blog I pay the bills so I can post whatever I want and I have so much respect for my readers that if they did post a comment that we might not agree on or I feel they don’t understand where I am coming from THAT’S OK But I can bet you someone is going to read it and relate to it in some way or another!

But Enough Of that stop reading my blog … But Wait  leave me a comment saying hi or bye  letting me know you were here..LOL because  You now  have homework  head over to blogs her color and find 1 blog right now and go show them some love and support and if you have more time go visit more since the list is not that big yet this is the best time to get started! Make this something that you  do often it only takes 2 minutes out of your time and could mean more then you know to that person. If you haven’t got listed then list yourself and place the badge on your blog and wear it proud!

Till next time much love.
