On The Glamazons, we spend a lot of time talking about fashion/beauty news and careers, but less time talking about blogging itself. When Ferocia and I started this blog, our "baby," we had no idea that it would grow to the point it is now where you all love reading our anecdotes (we hope =) and we equally love writing them daily for you.
Since blogging is a fairly new media platform, it's always refreshing and empowering to meet bloggers who are in the same boat as us---bloggers who share the same dreams (among many, publishing a book) and face the same challenges (writing everyday ain't easy!). To that end, I was thrilled to attend a blogger networking event, hosted by one of my blog sheroes, Ally of She Blogs.
The bloggers I met ran the gamut from dating experts to hip hop lovers to fashion & beauty addicts, but we all had one commonality: supporting one another and reaching our 'blogger' goals. By the end of the event, I felt inspired by everyone's accomplishments and dreams, and excited about new possibilities for each of our "babies."
To my surprise, there were a lot of sites represented that I already LOVED before I met the amazing faces behind them; and I'm sure you'll love them too. Check out pictures from our fun-filled meeting at the Marriott Marquis and a list of all the bloggers that came out below. Add them to your reading list---you'll thank me later!
