Great article! I am a Black Christian Blogger who have been blogging
for 5 years. It takes a little effort to find whatever you are looking
for on the net.

I think Kelly provided a little insight to the thinking of a segment on the net. I find that among Christian Mom Bloggers many are also full of “Clicks”. Your friend may have to visit some conference like Blogalicious. Its sad that the net is a reflection of the attitude of some in the world and that is often a hurtful feeling. Hey visit my site and cheer up Sister!

Hello…

I am a Newbie to the Blogosphere and this is definitely an issue which I noticed right away. I have joined many blog related sites and have yet to see many people whom “look like me”. I’d love to connect with other African American bloggers to network, share ideas, and learn from. Thanks for this post.

Pease and Blessings…

Thank you for stopping by and reading this article! It is a subject that is near and dear to my heart and one that I am working on doing something about. I have a wonderful project in the work and some plans for this site to help bring more bloggers of African American descent to the forefront.

Fantastic article! I couldn’t agree more with your sentiments. As I am an African-American blogger new to the blogosphere, many of the blogs that I have found that are written by women of color seem to be written in forums and targeted to groups that are made up of people who are similar to ourselves. It would be great to see more beautiful brown faces on ‘mainstream’ sites, and in media events. We are out there, and we have so much to add to the discussion.

I found your blog while searching for African American blogger associations. I am so glad you mentioned this topic. I too want to hear/see from African American bloggers period. They seem to be so hard to find. So I said that I would do my part by posting links on my site to some of my favorite bloggers that live in Arkansas. I hope this makes it a little easier for event coordinators looking for unique talent

Thank you for including me on your list! Yes, there are many women of color out in the blog world. Many are moms, some are not, but we’re definitely out there. If you could find me, others should be able to as well. One thing I plan to do is put my blogroll back on my site so other people can see the blogs I frequent and find my flock, so to speak.

One often finds what one looks for. Not hard to find African-American women who are mothers and bloggers. Not all blog about parenting issues, but there are tons of us in the blogosphere.

LaTara,

I blog and I am definitely an American of African descent. I just happen to have the best political blog on the web. Politics can be said to be colorless, yet the political writer brings his or her shared experiences to the blog.

I think you pose a timely and legitimate question and are correct when you say: “I know many intelligent African Americans who are well versed in these areas and not to seek them out is just wrong.”

I agree with what Kelly has said. The blogger world is VERY clicky... very. And it's so funny because some people might think I'm in the big popular click, but I very much feel on the outside of it, too. Nell casual friday every days last blog post..In Your Eyes…
