“Representation is important in the stories we tell.”-Nia Batts
Black women are increasingly creating opportunities for themselves in business and setting the standard in all areas of social media and content creation. It seems as though everytime I go onto social media I end up down the rabbit hole of finding another bomb, boss, black woman that is killing it in the digital content arena – I am sure I’m not the only one. As of late, I’ve been greatly drawn to these 3 black women content creators that are inspiring the next wave of digital mavens.
