Are you a blogger or writer in the Birmingham area ready to kick your social media game up a notch? Or maybe you don’t even have a social media presence or strategy but you know you need one. If so, you need to meet me at the Southern Social Summit on Friday, August 31.

Introducing the SJW Girls Write-In
Last month I asked the ladies of the See Jane Write Members Collective what they were struggling with most regarding writing and blogging and nearly everyone responded with the same reply: TIME! They’re constantly struggling to find the time to work on their book or blog.
Unfortunately, I can’t add more hours to the day but I can provide a space for women to hang out and write. After all, that’s why I started See Jane Write in the first place. And that’s why last month I started hosting a weekly virtual “girls write-in” for See Jane Write Collective members. (If you’re not a member you can apply to join here.)
But I’ve decided to take this a step further for the women of Birmingham and offer an in-person girls write-in for members and non-members.
The See Jane Write Birmingham Girls Write-In will be Thursday, May 24 from 6 to 8 p.m. at DISCO, 5500 First Avenue North in Woodlawn.
From Tacos to TED Talks: 7 Years of See Jane Write
“Like so many good things, this story starts with tacos.”
That was the first line of the talk I gave on the TEDxBirmingham stage on March 24, 2018, which also happened to be the 7th anniversary of See Jane Write.

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.
