6 Bodacious Bloggers* A Black History Month Feature

"SHINE BRIGHT LIKE A DIAMOND."

February marks Black History Month. A time to honor the historical contributions and traditions of people of color.
BHM evolved from “Negro History Week,” initiated by noted historian Carter G. Woodson and other prominent African Americans. Every U.S. president, (since 1976) has officially designated the month of February as Black History Month.

Being Black is not a pre-requisite for celebrating Black History.
Black History is deeply entrenched in American History, and thus has significance that surpasses color or geographical boundaries.

To honor this month and expand your literary horizons, today's post features 6 Black Bloggers you'll want to add to your blog roll this year.

'Cause that's how I roll. ;-)
If time permits, I hope you'll visit their sites, sample what they have to offer and be enriched in the process.

HERE ARE THESE BODACIOUS BLOGGERS FOR 2019,

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER:

KELLY SANTANA BANKS@ REVIEWS BY THE BANKS

Kelly is a children’s author, freelance writer, educator, and yogi. When she is not “on duty,” she loves to indulge in the next best reading, hit the gym, and spend time with family and friends exploring unbeknownst locations.  The Reviews By the Banks blog has some really helpful, engaging reads and reviews for writers of all genres. Kelly and I were "introduced" initially by way of an interview she conducted with me last year; I became a regular reader from there.
