Welcome to another feature of the Our Blogs are Beautiful series in honor of Black History month.
This series will shine the spotlight on those beautiful sistas who are on their own paths to greatness, trailblazers in their own rights. These sistas are essentially setting the stage for history making on their own. The sistas that will be honored here are authors of some of the most prolific writings you will ever see. They are Beautiful Black Bloggers.
They are extraordinary sistas doing extraordinary things. They have visions and are living their lives filled with so much purpose and passion. Not only are they talking the talk, but they are walking the walk. And the best part about it is that they are still youthful, flying high on eagles wings, with a lot of miles left in them to accomplish more great feats.
The spotlight is now shining brightly on Erika, the beauty and brains behind the popular blog, A Black Girl's Guide to Weight Loss.
Erika began her blog in July 2009, to journal how she was able to overcome her own weight loss struggles with proper eating and exercise. She chronicles her actual weight loss techniques and include her photos to show her progression along the way.
Helping others to achieve maximum success in their health and wellbeing, Erika's mission was selfless.
"So for me, this had to be A Black Girl’s Guide To Weight Loss, because while this site discusses very general concepts that affect us all as people, as Americans and as consumers… there are issues and elements that are very cultural in origin that need to be addressed.. from the perspective of… ta-da! A Black girl.
With any luck, this blog will expose us to different ways of caring for ourselves. With any luck, this blog will show us things that we accept because they’re tradition, and unfortunately are harming us and prohibiting us from being our healthy selves. With any luck this blog will benefit you, the reader, as much as writing it may benefit me." (BGG2WL)
