I started my blog, I'm A Natural Black Girl at the beginning of this year (first blog post was on December 31, 2010). I had been natural for about 6 months and I was ELATED. I was doing this and doing that with natural hair, natural hair, natural hair. I started the blog and wanted it to be like BGLH, and Curly Nikki's, and hers, and his. I wanted it to be the #1 natural hair resource in the WORLD.

 

And one day, I got exhausted. I had only been 100% natural for 6 months. Everytime I would go to post something, I had to research SO much because my knowledge on the subject was so slim. How could I provide an outlet for women when I felt like I needed an outlet myself? I didn't even know what I wanted the blog to become. That's when I decided to take a break. I just needed to take some time off of natural hair. LOL How silly does that sound? Did I take that break? Nope. LOL! But I did take a break from blogging.

DIYHCB: Makes sense to me, I know the feeling. :)

 

I felt like I needed to research the subject of blogging in order to successfully do it. I felt like I needed to first, find out what I wanted my blog to do. What exactly did I want the purpose of it to be? I began to scourge hundreds (and I do mean literally HUNDREDS) of blogs. Some blogs were geared toward natural hair, some make-up, some fashion, some food, etc. I delved into the lives of those bloggers and felt like I created a personal....bond.....AHA! That's one of the things I knew I wanted to come out of my blog. I wanted my readers to form a personal relationship with me. I want them and I to be...friends! :-)

 

I also knew that I wanted my blog to be focused on natural hair. MY natural hair. I want my blog to not only be an outlet for me, but an outlet for me. I never lost my love and passion for my natural hair. It's been a struggle for me all of my life and I finally have figured it out. I want to share my discoveries with the world. I hope that hopefully someone will feel as excited and fulfilled when they are reading the posts as I do when I am writing them.

 

So what is my blog all about? It's about me and my dang natural hair? It's about my life with my natural hair. What goes on? What's happening with me? What's happening that I pay attention to and like? How does my hair relate to those happenings? What do I pay attention to in the natural scene and why do I think it's important?

 

My blog is a combination of my personal self and my musings, and my rockin-booty natural hair! :) And I love it. I hope you will, too!
