With so many Black bloggers out there, you would never know it looking in popular magazines and highly publicized blogging events. It seems that in certain settings, Black bloggers don't get the recognition that they deserve, even if the quality of their work is at an equal or higher level than their non-Black fellow bloggers. Many Black bloggers, both new and well established, have dropped out of the running, for the simple fact that people aren't reading what they are saying, not because what they are saying isn't interesting, but because no one knows that they are out there.
Below is a list of over 200 Black bloggers separated by category. All of the bloggers on this list were hand chosen for their clean design, quality writing and beautiful pictures. Yes, I will agree that 200 is an over-exaggerated list; however, that is the point. Some of the bloggers on this list are already house hold names, though most are not. I am hoping that this list of bloggers will help both readers to find something new to read and also businesses to find Black bloggers to partner with.
