Salute To The Brown Bloggers

I totally procrastinated on this post, but better late than never right. My intention was to post this during African-American history month, but of course I'm one day shy! Hey everyday should be a day to recognize & celebrate who we are, where we've come from & where we are goin! There are many bloggers out there that I admire & learn from, but I just wanted to show a few of my favs some love. A salute to my fellow brown bloggers that continue to stay ahead of the curve in their content, aesthetic & incomparable unique talent!
