I spent my past weekend at the annual BlogHer conference in New York City. This conference brings together the women who share their lives online through blogging. Hence, that is why it is called Blog…HER! The best part was not the sessions, the swag, or the parties, but the people.
One person I met was Tracey Friley, of OneBrownGirl.com. As with all blogging conferences, I had interacted with Tracey online before meeting her in person. I started reading her blog one year ago, and I loved how it promoted all BROWN women, regardless of race, nationality or religion. Her stories of women in the Amazon, India and Africa, made me a more open and cultured person.
My most recent virtual interaction with Tracey was through BlackAtlas.com. She submitted a story on her travel adventure camp for young Brown Girls – One Brown Girl Adventure Camp. This year she took 11 young brown women on an adventure trip to the Virgin Islands.
I wanted you to hear Tracey talk about her blog and camp directly, so I videotaped her at the conference in NYC. Check it out below.
