- BLACK BLOGGERS CONNECT™ : A NEW SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORK FOR BLACK BLOGGERS
BlackBloggersConnect.com launched on June 17, 2011 and is a new social network specifically for bloggers of African descent. People of color have been blogging by the thousands across the Internet. This digital boom highlights the potential for African descents to connect and address important issues in the Pan-African world. The sister site to BlackBloggersConnect.com is Black Blogger Network, which has featured Black bloggers from all over the world including but not limited to: the U.S.A., Canada, South Africa, Ghana, Nigeria, Thailand and the U.K. Thus, Black Bloggers Connect™ was launched as a means for these bloggers to meet and learn from each other. BlackBloggersConnect.com is also serving as a platform for distributing information about vital issues affecting Black communities.
The founder of Black Bloggers Connect™ is no stranger to drawing connections between the black community and digital relations. Jessica Ann Mitchell has a Master of Arts degree in Pan African Studies and is currently completing a Master of Science degree in Public Relations at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Mitchell is also the founder of NationalBlackPages.com, BlackFathers.org and OurLegaci.com.
In 2010, Mitchell started the Black Blogger Network. After coming in contact with black bloggers around the world, she had the idea of starting a special social network specifically to address the needs of black bloggers.
“I really wanted to start Black Bloggers Connect™ a long time ago. I felt that it was necessary for Black bloggers to have a platform for exchanging thoughts and sharing ideas. Often times, the importance of black blogs is underrated. However, black bloggers are a highly important means of transmitting information to black and marginalized communities,” states Mitchell.
On Black Bloggers Connect™, bloggers have the ability to promote their blogs, share links to their favorite blog posts, find blogging advice, upload videos and read news updates. Bloggers can also create their own profile pages and include detailed information about their blogs.
The new social network is already generating interest from bloggers. The first 100 bloggers to join will receive a lifetime link to their site on BlackBloggersConnect.com. Though Black Bloggers Connect™ will focus specifically on topics of importance to African descended communities; bloggers of all backgrounds are welcome to join.
“We are in a new era. Due to the emergence of digital media, blogging has become a platform that has enabled marginalized voices to come the forefront and be heard. At BlackBloggersConnect.com we want to unite those voices,” states Mitchell.

One, I didn’t know she was at Syracuse University; I live in the area so I find that fascinating.
Two, I’m glad people are starting to do this type of thing. Last week I wrote a post highlighting some black bloggers that had pretty good Klout scores after seeing more lists coming out without any black people on them. To me, it’s as big an economical thing as anything else; without being known by either white or black organizations, we don’t have those opportunities to make money by speaking or consulting because no one knows we exist.
Great stuff; thanks for sharing it.
I do not have a blog, yet; I plan to start one soon. May I still join the group?
I have just signed up and I am already pumped about the possibilities
