Your reasons are pretty much my reasons.. Since I entered Blogging from the Internet Marketing side. I didn't see much diversity.. I still do not but I know that there are more of us out there blogging.. I have stalked the BWB site for months.. I swear I may have been one of the first 5 to sign up.

It is easy to get lost out there in this huge internet world. It is invaluable to surround yourself with Like Minded People... I know living in Atlanta is a little different because Atlanta by nature is pretty diverse but that is not the norm.. So... I am so glad there is a Blogging While Brown

Blogalicious is in my list also for October..
