Many of the Black food bloggers I came across initially were out of state, though as I started building up my community I discovered more Black food bloggers in the area.
I have seen how as Black food bloggers we sometimes aren’t even considered for an invite to events, we’re underpaid (if we’re offered payment at all for services), we’re only sought after for political correctness (during Juneteeth or Black History Month), and we are constrained to defending ourselves in a way that make us seem the least ‘aggressive’ or ‘angry’ (if we are able to speak up at all).
What you will find is thoughtful content, fun food photos, travel content, drink recipes, quick and easy recipes, vegan restaurants, Black owned restaurants, BIPOC owned restaurants, and resources (often made available for free) for the local hospitality community.
If you’ve ever wondered what bloggers really do, bloggers are project planners, copy writers, content creators, photographers, and social media managers (just to name a few).
