Content Creation Tips I Learned from the GlamTwinz at the 2018 Natural Hair & Health Expo
Saturday I attended the 7th annual Visions Natural Hair and Health Expo in Birmingham where natural hair and beauty vloggers The GlamTwinz were special guests.
I attend the expo regularly as it always proves to be a great time and an opportunity to try out new hair care products and learn new hair care tips. But because the event draws influencers like The GlamTwinz I also often learn how to be a better content creator, too.
Here are three tips I picked up from the talk that GlamTwinz Kendra and Kelsey Murrell gave during the expo.
4 Ways to #PressForProgress on International Women’s Day
Happy International Women’s Day!
I am all for celebrating women each and every day of the year, but having an official holiday to do so obviously makes my feminist heart happy.
International Women’s Day was officially adopted by the United Nations in 1975, but was first celebrated as early as 1909 in New York. (Learn more here.)
International Women’s Day is, of course, meant to be a day of celebration, but it’s also meant to be a day of activism. This year’s theme is #PressForProgress, calling for us all to motivate and unite our friends, colleagues, and communities to think, act and be gender inclusive.
The World Economic Forum’s 2017 Global Gender Gap Report indicates that gender equality is over 200 years away! So we’ve got work to do.
Here are 4 ways you can #PressForProgress this International Women’s Day.
