50 Blogs Written by Happy Black Women

It’s Happy Black Girl Day! And what better way to celebrate this monthly occasion than to highlight some of the awesome happy black women in the blogosphere.

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again: I love Twitter. That little blue bird has introduced me to so many amazing bloggers, including dozens of black women sharing their personal stories, struggles and knowledge online. I thought it was high time you get to know them, too, so I’ve compiled a modest list (I know, there are so many more out there I haven’t discovered yet!) of black women bloggers who share a similar spirit as I do in providing the space to talk about personal development in work, love and life.

All of these blogs not only offer up great insight and inspiration, but they also affirm me in the journey of being a black woman trying to live her best life with topics like health, beauty, dating, career, personal finance and overall life lessons. These are all black women sharing the process of figuring themselves out, just like me. Just like you.
