Black Web BLog Awards
Last week started pretty badly for me. At the very last minute, I realized that I had been invited to speak on a panel at the National Association of Black Journalists. Yes, I could have been a speaker at the NABJ conference. But because I was so lax in checking my gmail AND Facebook mail, I missed a very important email and therefore missed my opportunity to go to San Diego.
I vowed NEVER again to miss an opportunity.
Guess what – God blessed a sister within DAYS of that letdown. Through Twitter, I received notification that Kiratianatravels.com had been nominated as the Best Travel Blog with the Black Weblog Awards. Having just started this blog in February, 2010, it meant so much to me to be acknowledged by my peers.
I have been following the Black Weblog Awards for YEARS—ever since they started in 2005. I always wanted to enter the awards, but since they did not have a travel blog category, I sat on the sidelines. Finally, in 2010, there is a category for the best Travel Blog. I’m here to be the inaugural winner.
So what do I need you to do? I need you to VOTE for me! Your vote will keep this blog alive and going strong. It will encourage me to take this blog to next level and write write write!!!!
