Final Project- Yolanda Mackey

Since our first blog post in this class “Who do you think you are?” and throughout the entire course, I’ve been encouraged to reflect on my past media contributions. I was forced to revisit a decision I made, why I stopped posting on my blog Women’s Empowerment. On my old blog, I focused on encouraging, strengthening and uplifting women. But it was without sharing my unique perspective. I realized what I was contributing was important to me but not my whole truth. I was limiting what I would and would not discuss on my blog in an effort to appeal to all. Today, I am encouraged by strong female leaders such as Linda Sarsour,  and Issa Rae both women have stayed true to who they are, and the world has found a way to appreciate their truth. My presentation will focus on my new blog, that will launch officially in January 2018. I have taken this opportunity to rebrand my blog, and most importantly, tell my truth.


I included the link to my old blog. Please check it out and try not to LOL too hard. J (This project is also a testament to academic growth in a relatively short amount of time.) On my old blog, I posted one final post, a farewell. Check it out here!


This is the new will be improved blog. It is currently under construction but this is where the magic will happen.
