Nationwide — Many women speak the language of shoes and handbags, but there are a select few who are talented enough to make a living doing it. Top black fashion bloggers like Asiymai Gold know that there’s a lot of work that goes into their aesthetically pleasing and informative blogs and Instagram feeds. Black female fashion bloggers are choosing online social media platforms to express their love of fashion. This may be related to the tendency of the fashion world to heavily choose white models over black models (78% of models in fashion magazines are white). Though we’re seeing steady progress in diversity, black female fashion bloggers are making an impact on fashion quite successfully in their own way.

If you’re not careful, you’ll get lost in her pristine sense of style and sensational travel feed. Gold perfectly captures an assortment of cultures, cuisines, and landscapes. Her blog will your imagination with trip ideas that, if we’re being honest, probably won’t happen. But it really makes you wonder about the beauty in diversity that she finds in her travels.

Marjorie Harvey is a mother to seven kids, which is surely a full-time job. But that doesn’t stop her from sharing her life with her fans.
