In my never ending search for all things black and beautiful, I came upon a site that has me intrigued. Mahoganybutterfly.com is a website devoted to both inner and outter beauty for women of color. Created by one fabulously devoted woman, it has now become a place for women of color to come together and learn about ourselves.
From dealing with Black Hair Myths...yes, they get really crazy....to raising spiritually healthy black children; from finding the right color red for our rainbow skintones to knowing where to find the latest and greatest styles even if you have your mama's hips, Mahogany Butterfly has become one of my favorite places to lurk on the net.
New media is an area that I struggled with. I wasn't sure if the sources could be trusted or if it was even worth my time as a publicist. I have learned, however that for many, many women, it is becoming their first choice for news and information. This site is a perfect example of the reasons why.
As an underserved population in print (we are, indeed getting more and more titles directed at us...Jolie, Vibe Vixen, Jewel, etc) we are hungry fr any and all info that pertains directly to us. So internet savvy editors, keep it coming! I'm excited and I think many more like me will follow.
Ciao for now,
Nikki
